SMART GLOVE FOR SIGN LANGUAGE TRANSLATION USING IOT

Abstract: The design of a smart glove for deaf and dumb individuals using IoT technology aims to facilitate seamless communication by converting hand gestures into text and speech. This project integrates advanced sensors such as flex sensors to detect finger movements and accelerometers and gyroscopes to track hand orientation. The glove communicates wirelessly with paired devices using WI-FI modules, transmitting processed data to a mobile application. This app displays the translated text and provides text-to-speech functionality. Its ergonomic design ensures comfort and durability, with adjustable features to fit various hand sizes. Usability testing with real users ensures the glove meets user needs and incorporates feedback for continuous improvement. This innovative IoT-enabled smart glove enhances communication for deaf and dumb individuals.
