Abstract

Smart gloves have emerged as a groundbreaking assistive technology designed specifically to aid individuals with hearing impairments. These gloves enable the translation of sign language into spoken words or written text, facilitating effective communication between deaf individuals and those who do not understand sign language. By utilizing advanced technologies such as sensors and algorithms, smart gloves accurately recognize and interpret the intricate movements and gestures of sign language. This innovative solution has the potential to bridge the communication gap, empowering deaf individuals to express themselves more freely and interact with the world around them in a more inclusive manner. This paper introduces a prototype of smart gloves that utilize flexiforce sensors and a Bluetooth application on a mobile device to recognize and translate American Sign Language (ASL) signs. Through rigorous testing with a group of deaf participants, the gloves exhibited a remarkable level of accuracy in identifying and converting sign language gestures. Moreover, the gloves were highly regarded for their intuitive and user-friendly nature, making them accessible and easy for individuals with hearing impairments. These findings highlight the potential of smart gloves incorporating flexiforce sensors and Bluetooth technology as a valuable assistive tool for the deaf community, enhancing their ability to communicate and engage with the world around them
