Abstract: An IoT-enabled smart glove system (100) converts hand gestures of speech and hearing impaired persons into text and speech. Flex sensors (104a-104c) along the fingers of a glove and an accelerometer (108) on the back of the hand are read by a microcontroller (110) on the glove, which normalises each finger bend using open- hand and closed-hand calibration readings recorded for the user, quantises the bends into bend states and the hand tilt into tilt zones, and combines them into a gesture code. A code is accepted only after remaining unchanged for a hold time, is not repeated while held, and is sent by Bluetooth (112) to a smartphone (120). The smartphone application (122) looks up the associated phrase in a user-configurable gesture library (128), displays it as text, speaks it by text-to-speech, and optionally forwards it to a caregiver through a cloud server (130).
