Researchers at Cornell University have developed the SpellRing, a wearable device aimed to assist communication for the deaf and speech-impaired. This smart ring employs sensors and deep-learning algorithms to track ASL gestures, translating them into text or audio for better understanding. It incorporates advanced technology like a mini-gyroscope and micro-sonar to read the user's fingerspelling of the English alphabet, tested by experts from multiple universities on over 20,000 words, advancing the potential for effective communication solutions in the community.
The SpellRing, a smart wearable developed by Cornell University researchers, translates ASL gestures into text or audio, facilitating communication for the deaf and speech-impaired.
The device employs advanced sensors, including a mini-gyroscope and embedded speakers, to track gestures and is powered by deep-learning algorithms, ensuring accurate transcription.
Researchers from Cornell, Carnegie Mellon, and Stony Brook University conducted extensive testing, with participants spelling over 20,000 words to enhance the SpellRing's accuracy.
Designed to be worn on the thumb, the 3D-printed SpellRing is compact and uses micro-sonar technology to detect the 26 letters of the English alphabet.
