Project Overview

Gloves that translates Sign Language into text in real-time. Using flex sensors and gyroscopes integrated with Arduino, these smart gloves detect and interpret hand gestures, creating a bridge of communication for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. Programmed in C++, the system processes sensor data to accurately recognize sign language movements and convert them into readable text.
