BrightSignGlove [Tumblr warning: script heavy and next to zero text] is a student project which recognises sign language and converts it into text. Users familiar with sign language [American Sign Language?] are able to capture large quantities of text and optionally output text to a large format display or a short message system - many of which are popular with deaf users. Custom gestures can be used to manage messages and it is conceivable that gestures could be used with home automation. This would be of particular benefit to users with mobility problems.

[Ed. Note: An older text article with a description of the glove and what it does. Seems very useful.]

    What's the Poe's law equivalent for "can't tell if missed the point" ?

    I mostly ignored the point.

      It is considered proper etiquette to start your own thread, then.
      Answering with an unrelated statement and no warning does not contribute to optimum reading pleasure.
