Implementation of LabVIEW based Smart Assistive Gloves for Deaf and Dumb People

Disabled people face many problems in their daily life especially in communication with others. Since for many learning sign languages is not feasible or easy so this study looks into a method that will help dumb, deaf and partially paralyzed people to communicate with others without learning sign language. This study designs a device that help disabled people to communicate. The main questions are that how can device should always be within the reach of the patient. This research focuses on improving the lifestyle of disabled people. This topic is important to address because to bring equality for people from all walks of life. they must feel it. The most important task in this situation is to express themselves. This study looks for ways to make the existing devices more comfortable for the patients to use and to modify the technologies that are unsuitable. This study uses flex sensors that are stitched to a pair of gloves. The flex sensor signals are sent to LabVIEW via Arduino UNO, and the appropriate message for the finger bend is either displayed or heard. The use of Wi-Fi for transition is a huge boost in the area for transmission of the signals when compared to Bluetooth. This makes the gloves easier to use. The uses of Wi-Fi instead of increases the area of reception when compared to Bluetooth. Wi-Fi is faster as well as it has more coverage when it comes to range of transmission.
