Inspiration

Accessibility needs and painful times sitting at long desks

What it does

Accesses the computers camera through a browser extension, it was supposed to track hand landmarks but we were not able to complete that part.

How we built it

3 phases: 1 - Developing browser extension, 2 - Accessing the computer's camera, 3 - Tracking signs

Challenges we ran into

Tracking hand landmarks, and accessing the camera due to browser restrictions

Accomplishments that we're proud of

First hackathon! Was able to actually develop a browser extension that accesses the camera despite having no prior knowledge on the matter.

What we learned

Typescript, React, HTML, CSS, how browser extensions work and how difficult they can be sometimes

What's next for SignToText

Being able to track hand movements and upload signs to text!
