“Speaking Gloves: Arabic Deaf Sign Language”
Sudan
Age 22
'Helping the deaf be heard' is Abdelkareem’s way of making a difference in people's lives. Through the development of a microcontroller based system to translate Arabic sign language to an audible voice, this project will help the hearing impaired be more productive in the community through easing their communication with hale persons. “Speaking Gloves: Arabic Deaf Sign Language” is a glove based input interface, whereby the hearing impaired can be heard by performing sign language. The glove fits onto the hand of a deaf individual and contains sensors that transmit information to a microcontroller as the wearer moves his or her hand to sign, which then activates a small speaker. The project is expected to result in two main outcomes: increasing learning and the performance of deaf students in target institutes and schools, and increasing employment for the hearing impaired.
