<ul><li>Researchers at Cornell University have developed an AI-powered ring called SpellRing that tracks fingerspelling in American Sign Language (ASL) in real time.</li><li>SpellRing uses micro-sonar technology to detect hand and finger movements, enabling easier text input into computers and smartphones for ASL users.</li><li>The device, worn on the thumb, captures hand and finger movements through a microphone, speaker, and gyroscope, and relies on a deep-learning AI system for accurate prediction of fingerspelled letters.</li><li>While SpellRing is a significant advancement, it only tracks fingerspelling and not other aspects of ASL. Future plans include integrating the technology into eyeglasses to capture facial expressions and body movements for a complete ASL translation system.</li></ul>
