<![CDATA[This report’s primary purpose is to provide a detailed overview of the sign language interpreting gloves project. It starts with an introduction, background and history of the deaf community to better understand the needs and issues of the D/deaf community. In the following literature review, the reader will have the chance to learn about the modern-days challenges faced by hearing-impaired people, broadly explained and elaborated. The psychosocial impact of assistive technology and its effectiveness in improving life quality is discussed next. A lack of new technologies assisting the D/deaf community is not hardly noticed. As elaborated in the previously mentioned chapters, sign language interpreting services are expensive and sign language interpreters cannot be easily booked. These and other findings gathered from the research and also by a survey conducted on a group of deaf individuals indicate that sign language interpreting gloves are the new free interpreters-to-be, and the answer to acquiring the so-wanted independence. Evaluated to have such a significant impact, building this assistive technology that can be easily accessed is the project's focus. The working principles, block diagram and flowchart are also described in the methodology section, where building, not one but a pair of gloves is also documented step by step. Finally, results, discussion and future work will tell us more about the importance of interpreting gloves to close the gap between both hearing and deaf communities.]]>
