They came up with a device to easily interpret sign language patterns using computers. The Central University of Kerala received a patent for the research project undergone in the Department of Computer Science.
The device would grab the visuals of the sign language on camera and would interpret the same through a computer. The device would facilitate easy communication of the sign language by copying and transmitting the visuals of the hand movements and signs displayed in front of the camera.
The device could be operated by setting it up with a camera or laptop. The research, which has succeeded now, had begun way back in 2016.
