What is a Braille Glove?

Answer 1

the braille glove is a glove that you wear that you can touche flat objects and feel what they are. it was invented by Ryan Patterson in 2002 at a burger kings when he saw a woman having trouble ordering because she was deaf. thus he created the glove.

This device was invented in the year 2002. Ryan Patterson's remarkable invention earned him the Grand Award in the 2001 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, followed by his winning top honors in Intel's 2002 Science Talent Search, where he was awarded a $100,000 scholarship. He was also first-place winner in the individual category at the 2001 Siemens Westinghouse Science & Technology Competition; this earned him yet another $100,000 scholarship. Description The system includes a soft, leather glove outfitted with ten sensors that a signer wears on his or her hand, and a small computer that associates each hand position with a corresponding letter. By finger-spelling words using the standard American Sign Language alphabet, each letter would be transmitted to and captured by the processing unit, which then turns the signal into a clearly visible, digital letter on a small liquid crystal display. The translation time for each letter is less than a half a second.

When in high school, student Ryan Patterson, 18, saw a deaf woman trying to order food at Burger King, he had a eureka moment. Why not create a device that translates sign language into text? Patterson created a device that senses it wearer's hand movements and transmits them wirelessly to a tiny handheld monitor, where they appear as words.The goal of this project is to simulate the 26 Braille codes by vibrating a motor mounted on the glove's finger tips. When the tips tapped out a Braille code, the information is stored in SRAM, or in EEPROM; or sent as ASCII data wirelessly to other compatible Braille gloves.

The system features two gloves that communicate wirelessly. The main board includes a dsPIC33FJ256MC510 microcontroller, which controls four vibration motors, four accelerometers, and a 32-KB SPI serial EEPROM 25LC256. This system provides a unique method for someone to both read and speak using Braille.

Answer 2

It is a device that senses its wearer's hand movements and transmits them wirelessly to a tiny handheld monitor, where they appear as words. This helps deaf people communicating with non sing language speakers.
