Smart Glove for Hearing-Impaired

Abstract

Individuals communicate with one another to pass on their thoughts to the general population around them. There are 2.78% of the total populations of India who can’t speak. Gesture based communication is really a mode of correspondence for the general population who are either deaf or deaf-mute. Ordinary individuals don't become familiar with the gesture based communication. It causes conveyance gap between deafdumb and normal people. The past system of this project involved using image processing concept. But the downside of these past frameworks are projects were non portable and excessively costly. The aim behind this work is to build up a framework for perceiving the gesture based communication, which provides interaction between people who are deaf-dumb and normal people, thereby diminishing the interaction gap between them. Generally hearing-impaired people use linguistic communication based on hand gestures with specific movements to represent the ideas to others. The proposed glove is an robotic gadget that interprets American Sign Language Standard into text or speech in order to evacuate the information transmission gap between the mute and the ordinary public. This glove has been actualized with the assistance of flex sensors, accelerometer, microcontroller (Arduino Nano) and the Bluetooth chip.

“…Arduino Nano is used in our system as a microcontroller, and it has been used in [10,11]. It is a small, complete, and breadboard-friendly board based on the ATmega328P.…”

“…According to the analysis done, one out of every five people is deaf or dumb on this planet is an Indian. In India about more than 1.5 million deaf people utilize Sign Language as a method of correspondence [2]. Normal parents of deaf children or vice versa use gesture-based communication.…”

“…It may also be used as a teaching tool to familiarize yourself with any type of gesture communication. Plato's Cratylus [2], written in the 5th century BC, is one of the oldest examples of gesture-based communication. Juan Pablo Bonet published Reduction of letters and art for teaching mute people to communicate in 1620, which is regarded as the first modern research of communication by vocal gestures, laying out a plan for voice training for hard of hearing people and a standard letter set.…”
