For this week’s article, I’ve found an interesting article that caught my eye. Mac Funamizu, the man who designed a device that will allow you to convert sign language to spoken word. The device would work in a scenario like this: you’re be stopped by a deaf person, they’ve ask for something, but you can’t understand them. You’d then pull out your little gadget, and the cameras installed inside the gadget will identify the signs and speak the meaning out loud. The device would only be as small as a locket, so you could wear it around your neck. Volume would be able to be adjusted on how far you twist out the bottom half of the device. If you ask me, this device is pretty useful for people that work with the deaf or have friends or realitives that are. In what ways do you think it could change the world?
