Smart Gloves — A tool to assist Individuals with Hearing difficulties

Abstract

A sign language is a language that expresses meaning via physical gestures and body language rather than through the transmission of sound patterns. Using a variety of hand gestures, finger alignment and motion, arm or torso movements, and facial expressions may all help a speaker communicate their views clearly. There are many similarities between spoken and signed languages, but there are also some important differences that speak to why linguists still consider spoken and signed languages to be real languages. Currently, owing to contemporary technology, deaf people may communicate through hand gestures. With each movement of the hands, a different audio message is set up to play. The microcontroller then analysed the data from the accelerometer and flex sensor used to capture hand motions. In order to create recorded sound signals for speaker delivery, the technology makes use of the appropriate signals produced by the flex sensor, which tracks hand movements and detects deflections. There are many different Arduino Boards available right now, and they have many uses. Simply utilising an Arduino Mega 2560 is the greatest choice since it is the most cost-effective, provides faster computing, and can integrate and connect several sensors while using less power. An Arduino setup and a glove make up the bulk of the topical gadget. Four flex sensors are included in the data glove and are strategically placed. Hand signals may be translated instantly. It's possible to recognise all 26 letters just looking at where the fingers are.
