Researchers at Nottingham Trent University have developed smart gloves with built-in electronics to help deafblind individuals understand live conversations.
The gloves use artificial intelligence to listen to nearby conversations, summarize them, and send the information through gentle vibrations on the wearer's fingers.
The gloves contain haptic actuators below the knuckles that vibrate in various ways to convey words, grammar, numbers, and other messages.
This technology aims to improve the daily lives of deafblind individuals, enabling them to understand conversations in public settings and engage more independently with the world.
