As per the lastest report of World Health Organisation (WHO), 63 million people in Indian suffer from serious auditory impairment. Communicating with them depends on interpreters (through sign language), or through writing, which is not a perfect solution to the problem.
To find a solution of the problem , a Pune-based startup, Glovatrix, has introduced gloves that leverage artificial intelligence to translate sign language into voice. For this purpose, the company has been training its own algorithm based on datasets that it is building from start.
To train this unique dataset, Glovatrix, records a sign language gesture 50 times, then tracks the data flowing from these 50 gestures and trains the AI on that data.
The gloves, which are in their seventh iteration of development, have sensors embedded. The AI algorithm sits on the cloud. An app that the company has developed functions as a gateway between the AI algorithm and the sensors in the glove.
