Development of a Smart IOT Enabled Arduino Glove Supporting Sign Language Communication

Deafness is an unfortunate issue of our society impairing many people. Around 3 million people in Bangladesh suffer from partial or complete deafness. One key challenge for these individuals is communicating with regular people. Various sign languages are available but very few people are knowledgeable about it. Keeping this issue in consideration this project has been developed. The smart Arduino glove allows the user to express their ideas by translating their fingerspelling as well as the gestures into comprehensible messages. The system also allows identification of common sentences by identifying simple gestures. The suggested system if applied in daily life can bring a positive change in the lives of deaf-mute individuals.
