Folks. Sign language is more than hands. More than fingers. More than hand shapes. It’s body, face, position... A glove will never ‘translate’ sign language in a way that is beneficial to the deaf. Fellow nerds, when designing, remember this: “nothing about us, without us.”

A glove that translates sign language into speech in real time has been developed by scientists -- potentially allowing deaf people to communicate directly with anyone, without the need for a translator.

I got measles as a kid. It’s part of the reason I’m deaf. I wouldn’t change my deafness, it’s part of who I am and frankly the world is far too noisy for my liking. But I vaccinated my kiddo as soon as she was old enough. Pls if you are on the fence, for whatever reason, watch.

Always humbled by @Microsoft 's commitment to diversity and inclusion. There's a lot to do, but I'm proud to be part of a company that thinks of this level, and includes #disability and #accessibility into the very fabric of the approach. Grab a cuppa tea and read on..
