Silence
Silence is a sign language translator designed to support communication between deaf people and hearing people. The device converts sign language into spoken audio and converts speech into sign language shown as a holographic projection. A motion sensing module on the front captures gestures, while a module on the back records and plays voice. Translation and processing take place inside the body, which is made of anodized aluminum. The rectangular form measures 40 cm wide, 40 cm deep and 80 cm high, so Silence suits a range of public places.
