Deaf people will be able to use cell phones soon, through sign language

University of Washington engineers are working on a tool which can easily transmit the American Sign Language through the cellular networks in the US. Eve Riskin, who is the professor of electrical engineering in UW said that they are right now just studying how deaf people use cell phone in the US. They communicate through sign language on video phones. MobileASL optimises the compressed video signals for communicating through sign language. It also can deliver intelligible sign language at a speed of 30 kbps. Motion detection technology is employed in order to check if the mobile phone user has signed in or not. This makes sure the battery life is longer. If the sign language is transmitted efficiently, the project would be affordable. Networks that are slower will be more reliable and the battery life will be big even for the devices which give good video quality. Riskin further said that it is really important to do a thorough field study before the technology is offered in the market.

The engineers accordingly conducted a lot of market research and a lot deaf people said that they were either sending e-mails or SMS for communicating. These deaf people where then offered to check out the MobileASL phone and they were happy about what they saw. They said texting takes a long time; you have to type all the words physically and then wait for the other party to respond. It makes no sense for texting for small things like ‘what do you want from the store?’ It would be easier to tell this all through a phone call.
The engineers are doing a lot of research as they want to deliver reliable, affordable ASL on as many devices as they can. It would give a chance for equal access to the deaf for communication

Wow nice sharing

nice sharing..

l got a creative computer recently and would like to in the final analysis blog bitcomet com/post/309345]download some HD or blog bitcomet com/post/309366]DVD movies on here, but it's been so long since l had a decent laptop that l'm completely behind the times and suffer with no idea where to leave to complete b reach quality blog bitcomet com/post/309382]full magnitude movies , so envision distinct more tech-related questions like this from me in the near future While l'm opinion about it, though, where do l retreat after blog bitcomet com/post/309280]buy movies online ? Preferably destined for cheap? Thanks in go!
