WASHINGTON-

 

While 70 million deaf people use sign language as their mother tongue, not everyone has knowledge of the language so communicating can still be challenging.
An all-deaf team of entrepreneurs from the Rochester Institute of Technology is hoping to bridge that gap with the MotionSavvy Uni, a tablet case embedded with Leap Motion’s gesture-sensing technology that could capture sign language and translate it into text, CBS reported.

Using Leap Motion, a camera would sense the movements of hands and fingers, down to individual joints, from up to a foot away. The software would then interpret the signs, check them against a growing database of signs and translate them into spoken word.

To enable true conversation, the software would also transcribe spoken word into text so a deaf person could read it.
