Thanos: ASL Translator Glove

Inspiration

1 million people use ASL as their main way to communicate, but not everyone understands it.

What it does

A glove that could translate ASL into letters on a visual display for non-ASL users.

How we built it

We used the flex/bend sensors and attached them on each finger of a glove. Then, we connected the flex/bend sensors to a texas instrument MSP430F5529 launchpad for display.

Challenges we ran into

Our codes to translate do not work as expected. Other technical devices were not working.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Our idea is thought-out well and relevant to the world.

What we learned

Hardware coding and how HackHolyoke works in general ('cause this is our first time for most of us)

What's next for Thanos: ASL Translator Glove

There's a lot of improvements needed, such as getting the codes to run and adding on other elements.
