Hello Ben,
My name Benny and i watch all of your videos.I am interested in tech stuffs .Well this project came to my mind when i saw people who are not able to speak needs a voice.Then i saw there was a machine made named UNI which did the same functionality that is converting Hand sign languge to voice using a speaker of high sound quality.But when i came to think of it there are people who not only use hand sign language but also body sign language as well.So i want to see a machine made that can read hand and body sign language to voice and speech generating device.My concern for building this device is it cannot be portable.So when i watch your videos i understood you are a specialist in modding things to being portable.
The list of things you can use or need
- A motion sensor that can read hand and body language.For example:LEAP MOTION,KINECT SENSOR,ASUS XITION PRO
- Developing a program that can convert hand and body sign to voice.
- Making it portable like making the device like a small robot that can follow people like your robot bag carrier device.
- Making it awesome
- Using a microcomputer or laptop which can process and record all the motion captured by these cameras.
I Hope you take this request as an build and i can see this build in your channel.This can be a big help for people with disabilities .
