An Intelligent Braille Communication using Translation Glove

This paper introduces an innovative method to enhance communication for deaf-blind individuals by employing an intelligent Braille communication system, which is made feasible with the assistance of a translation glove. The dead-blind population poses significant challenges to communication, and this solution aims to bridge that gap. The wearable glove functions as a communication interface by translating text messages into the Braille alphabet, a widely used system by literate blind people. The design incorporates mini vibrational motors on the palmar side of the glove to enable the perception and interpretation of incoming messages through tactile feedback patterns. Additionally, pushbuttons on the dorsal side of the glove allow users to convey pre-stored messages. Since, the glove is equipped with a GPS module during emergencies, it enables the user to transmit their current location. Compared to existing technologies for visually and hearing-impaired individuals, the proposed method offers superior features such as convenience, affordability, portability, and haptic feedback for effective interpretation of incoming messages. Overall, the proposed system offers a promising new approach to enhancing communication for deaf-blind individuals.
