[community] Gloves that Translate ASL to Speech

[D'Intino, Pina]

I wonder thought if the same thoughts would apply to someone  who is deaf/blind?

Here's an article that critiques this technology. In particular, I love this
quote: "Deaf people are viewed as a liability in terms of communication, when in reality, the opposite is true. We are the experts at communication.
>From living in a society that constantly demands observation and improvisation of us, we have learned how to communicate in countless ways."

One of the Queer ASL instructors also pointed out that so much grammar happens in the face, so this technology is both inappropriate and flawed.

They have won the Lemelson-MIT Student Prize:
