Signal processing for low cost optical dataglove

Abstract

The PolyProject initiative goal is to produce a low cost dataglove for sign language translation by using an optical detector technology and a 3D positioning system. The main innovation here is the optical system used for the glove which allows a great cost reduction. The glove also makes sign language translation much more accessible. In this article, we describe the optical signal analysis as well as the 3D positioning. These two elements will lead to the demonstration of the complete sign language translation methodology.
