Abstract—The device presented in this paper was designed in order to give a hand to the deaf-mute community, by helping them to reintegrate in the society, using the modern technologies. We aim at manufacturing an intelligent glove based on the use of sensors in order to obtain a communication bridge with a decent speech level between the persons suffering hearing loss and the persons with normal hearing. The development and design of the glove represents an endeavor that aims at obtaining pertinent data from fingers’ motion. The prototype functionality can be easily compared with gloves for virtual applications as they work on the same principle, namely sensory activity and test subjects will verify the concept objectives.
Index Terms—Deaf-mute community, sensory glove, flex sensors, Arduino board.
