A smart glove that instantly translates multiple sign languages into English or Chinese text is being developed in Singapore, potentially enabling deaf people to communicate without needing an interpreter.

Using self-developed algorithms, they trained the glove to detect the hand movements of 8,000 words in various sign languages, such as the Chinese, American and Singapore versions, as instructed by the user. The word count and number of languages recognised is expected to grow as they work with Huawei to bolster the system’s machine learning capabilities.
