“Communicating Glove” for Specially and Differently Abled Person Using Arduino-Based IOT

Communication is a bi-parties course of conveying or exchanging any kind of information through different channels. Visual, written, verbal and gesture are some of the ways of communication. Sign language is a gestural form of communication, which is framed up by using different hand movements, facial expressions and body postures. People with difficulty in speaking and hard of hearing use these gestures to convey their message to others. The process of sign language identification and interpretation involves motion capturing through different electronic devices and the conversion of messages into readable text messages. This paper proposes a sensor-based smart communication glove that aims to bridge the communication gap between the specially-abled and healthy person. This glove is sensor mounted wearable device that recognizes hand motion and translates them to meaningful messages. It knocks down the need for a regular person to learn sign language. The smart glove can be customized for many applications, such as virtual reality, gaming, and rehabilitation. Smart gloves promote human–machine interaction with various applications, making it an exciting and promising technology.
