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!
