OMU Engineering Faculty Electrical and Electronics Department students Emre Şola, Hüseyin Gazi Karabolat and Semih Yılmaz have developed a glove that converts sign language into text. As a result of their own research, they created sensors on the glove from a material whose resistance value changes as the sensors are bent.
The designed glove collects data via sensors after the person makes a sign. This data is matched with letters and words in sign language and visual output is provided via the mobile application.
Introducing the project, student Emre Şola said, “In this project, which aims to facilitate daily communication for people who use sign language, we converted sign language into text through gloves using sensors and special software methods. In this way, we made it easier to communicate and understand those who do not know sign language.”
The project was presented to visitors as part of the graduation project exhibition of the students of the Faculty of Engineering, Department of Electrical and Electronics.
