SignAloud From: TechBriefs - Create the Future Design Contest 2017 Honorable Mention SignAloud is a pair of gloves that can translate sign language into a verbal form instantaneously and in an ergonomic fashion. These gloves are a communication tool for people who may have trouble speaking and those who use sign language. Users simply wear the gloves and calibrate them and when they sign, the central computer associates their hand positions and gestures to a word or phrase which is verbally spoken. The gloves are extremely ergonomic and easy to carry on a day to day basis. They are made out of ergonomic materials to take away moisture from the user's hands and their minimalist design limits their impact to the user's day to day actions. The gloves link to a phone with bluetooth where they interact with an app that recognizes signs and gestures.
