Promoting accessibility in education is crucial to ensure equal opportunities for all students. Assistive technologies, including an automatic bidirectional translator between sign and written languages, play a significant role in incentivizing inclusiveness and improving communication between the deaf and non-deaf communities. The translator utilizes advanced devices like the Microsoft Kinect and 5DT Sensor Gloves to capture hand motion and shape data, enabling accurate interpretation of sign language. Through machine learning and natural language processing, the translator processes and translates the data in real time. Known as VirtualSign, this technology promotes accessibility, social inclusion, and educational integration by facilitating communication and access to information while raising awareness of sign language in schools. Embracing these advancements supports equal access to education and empowers individuals with disabilities.

摘要

Promoting accessibility in education is crucial to ensure equal opportunities for all students. Assistive technologies, including an automatic bidirectional translator between sign and written languages, play a significant role in incentivizing inclusiveness and improving communication between the deaf and non-deaf communities. The translator utilizes advanced devices like the Microsoft Kinect and 5DT Sensor Gloves to capture hand motion and shape data, enabling accurate interpretation of sign language. Through machine learning and natural language processing, the translator processes and translates the data in real time. Known as VirtualSign, this technology promotes accessibility, social inclusion, and educational integration by facilitating communication and access to information while raising awareness of sign language in schools. Embracing these advancements supports equal access to education and empowers individuals with disabilities.
