In the school setting, deaf and mute individuals face substantial communication barriers, particularly in educational environments where verbal communication predominates. This hinders their participation in
classroom activities, social interactions, use of electronics gadgets, and access to essential services such as healthcare.
To tackle these challenges, students from Sri Sai Ram Engineering College are working on innovative solutions incorporating technology and alternative teaching methods are necessary to establish inclusive learning environments. Prioritizing initiatives for deaf students can contribute to fostering inclusive educational environments that promote academic success and overall well-being.
The highlight of the proposed model is its lightweight design, dual-glove approach for mimicking natural sign language communication, advanced charging capabilities, and integration of health monitoring features.
Unlike heavier single-glove alternatives in the market, our solution enhances user comfort, safety and accuracy while offering extended usage without frequent recharging. Additionally, our comprehensive data logging system enables users to track their sign language interactions and health metrics over time, promoting learning and self-improvement.
