Smart Gloves' were Developed for Visually Impaired People
A university student in Eskişehir has developed a smart glove that can transcribe the hand and finger movements of the visually impaired with the help of sensors and computers.
Anadolu University (AU) Engineering Faculty Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering student Erhan Akan developed smart gloves that can transcribe the hand and finger movements of visually impaired people with the help of sensors and computers.
The glove developed by Erhan Akan, a senior student in the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, as a part of his thesis project "Smart Glove", enables the visually impaired to write using their hands like a keyboard.
Easily Transcribes Letters Encoded in Sign Language
Thanks to the sensors mounted on each finger of the glove, the visually impaired user has their hand and finger movements transferred to the main computer, and with a special software that reads hand and finger movements, the user can easily write using the letters encoded in the sign language.
Akan stated that the visually impaired can easily use this glove to input letters into the computer or phone. Stating that the project was completed in about a year, Akan said, "When the sensor on the glove is bent, the voltage on it changes. This voltage is perceived and turned into a meaningful symbol. We used a microprocessor for this. Visually impaired people will be able to easily transcribe their words with our project."
