The creator of the SignLanguage Glove, Ayoub, is currently looking into the very real possibility of including real-time language translation to the entire setup. Wi-Fi should be part of the glove as well, allowing its motion to be relayed. Right now, the current model comes with five flex sensors that will help to monitor the bends and curves of each finger, while an accelerometer will detect the orientation of the glove.
Ayoub, an Arabic, French and English speaker herself, hopes that should the SignLanguageGlove end up as a commercial product, schools and businesses would be the first to purchase them for students, patients as well as employees that have speech and hearing impairments. The estimated cost would amount to approximately £255 a pop. This is not the first time that something like this has happened, and it certainly will not be the last. [Press Release]
