Hello everyone,
My name is Devin and I am a design student in Boston MA. I have begun research for a new project on designing an interface for mobile signing. I had seen a concept by a Ryan Patterson in which he used a golf glove fitted with sensors was able to register signed letters. The down sides being it only reads one letter at a time and you are forced to wear a white golf glove. I am curious to know what the deaf community thinks about this? Would you use this concept?
My concept entails a device that would make signing things on the go to people not around you possible. I know plenty of hearing people get into accidents trying to walk and text in the city, so I can imagine the issue if you don't have hearing trying to dodge traffic while texting. Would you use technology like this? How do you communicate on the go now? Also if this technology were available would you want it to stand out or be something only people using this would notice?
Any information you are willing to offer would be wonderful and appreciated. I would love for this to be an open conversation for all opinions!
Thanks in advance!
