Thank you so much for your reply!! Very useful food for thought, I'm doing some more research on existing implementation and I agree, this is challenging however this can be done via the use of AI. I am planning to use machine learning with a large data set extracted from existing videos showing various signs in various different situations which should tackle the points you mentioned.
I can understand how the gloves are impractical and it seems most students design without the input of possible users which could lead to a lot of "great" ideas which are not that useful in real life scenarios.
Once again thanks for your input! - And what are your thoughts about the question below?
If there was a camera connected to a pc say at the airport desk/restaurant, post office etc, and when you approached the desk you could then sign to that camera and it spoke out what you signed and/or displayed this on a screen for the person sitting on the desk.
And they could then type their reply and that can be show as text on a monitor which is facing yourself.
1. Would you feel comfortable signing to the camera which then displayed the gestures as text to the receptionist, and then text being shown on a monitor facing you with their replies?
2. Would you find this easier than writing on paper?
