“…In recent years, many tools and applications have been developed to assist individuals in learning sign languages and translating signs into spoken language or text, significantly enhancing communication and accessibility for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. Studies, such as those conducted in [14,15], have demonstrated the importance of sign language in enabling communication for those with hearing difficulties, and they emphasize the need for technology to facilitate access to information.…”

Real-time sign language translation systems are of paramount importance in enabling communication for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals. This population relies on various communication methods, including sign languages and visual techniques, to interact with others. While assistive technologies, such as hearing aids and captioning, have improved their communication capabilities, a significant communication gap still exists between sign language users and non-users. In order to bridge this gap, numerous sign language translation systems have been developed, encompassing sign language recognition and gesture-based controls. Our research aimed to analyze the advancements in real-time sign language translators developed over the past five years and their integration with IoT technology. By closely examining these technologies, we aimed to attain a deeper comprehension of their practical applications and evolution in the domain of sign language translation. We analyzed the current literature, technical reports, and conference papers on real-time sign language translation systems. Our results offer insights into the current state of the art in real-time sign language translation systems and their integration with IoT technology. We also provide a deep understanding of the recent developments in sign language translation technology and the potential for their fusion with Internet of Things technology to improve communication and promote inclusivity for the deaf and hard-of-hearing population.

Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology in which objects are embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies to connect and exchange data with other devices and systems over the Internet. The main goal of the Internet of things is the real-time operation of devices; as a result, daily life improvement and data collection are without human intervention. In this paper, we investigate IoT awareness from Greek citizens. A worldwide literature review about IoT is presented, and the results are connected with the theoretical study. Furthermore, in 2018, 22 billion devices connected with IoT worldwide, and by 2030 it is expected that 50 billion devices to be enabled too. An online questionnaire was developed by the use of Google forms and distributed via e-mail and social media. The statistical analysis of the responses of 387 participants concluded that the level of security, privacy, and familiarity significantly affects the use of IoT. Some of our hypotheses and findings in the current survey are the extent of IoT technologies that are represented in Greece, the gender that is more familiar with IoT technologies, and the association of the monthly income with IoT knowledge.

“…These studies suggest that integrated STEAM learning environments should help students investigate relevant concepts and understand how concepts support design goals. Also, STEAM could be applied to several purposes such as teaching sign language [27], foreign languages [13], [20], [24], or examination platforms [17]. STEAM through the blending of arts and technology could also help educators, regardless of their age, to implement ICT in a more fruitful way in their curiculla without feeling that they are threatened [32].…”

If science can define meanings and measure results, art can express them and give a step forward to refreshment and innovation. The artist-scientist archetype started from Archimedes going to Nikolai Tesla, in about the inventor, the seeker, the dreamer, and the thinker, both as new scientist and artist. A growing number of schools are incorporating teaching methods that are more aligned to STEAM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) since it has become, almost very clear and concrete, that art’s education makes learning more fun and keeps everyone involved even more engaged. As exploring new possibilities, to lead innovation in the classroom and promote leadership at all levels, encourage teachers and principals, make the school and the whole system a dynamic one. The core value is that the need for STEAM education is critical, especially because there will be related jobs ready to be filled as soon as possible. This job is about to show, when and how can a STEAM educational concept can be delivered in a system that seems to have been destroyed from its old mistakes and can give a real boost to a new oriented public school, in the best possible integrated educational system for preparing students for the university and beyond. Primary inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking seem to lead the way for a better life in the school environment and real-life society.
