The SpellRing, developed by a team of researchers led by Cornell University, is an innovative wearable AI device that translates American Sign Language fingerspelling into text for use on smartphones and computers. Utilizing advanced micro-sonar technology and deep-learning algorithms, the device accurately tracks hand movements and can achieve an impressive accuracy rate between 82 and 92 percent. With ongoing improvements in recognizing ASL handshapes, the SpellRing aims to enhance communication for deaf users by seamlessly integrating their sign language into digital mediums.
The wearable AI ring named 'SpellRing' converts American Sign Language fingerspelling into text for smartphones, showing a connectivity between the deaf and digitally reliant worlds.
Researchers aim to improve the accuracy of the SpellRing as they train their AI to recognize 26 handshapes for each letter of the ASL alphabet in real time.
In testing, the SpellRing achieved an accuracy rate of 82 to 92 percent for translating fingerspelled words into text, validating its potential for communication.
The device's micro-sonar technology allows it to continuously track hand movements, enabling seamless communication between ASL users and digital devices.
