AI Rings on Fingers Can Interpret Sign Language

Electronic rings wirelessly connected to an AI system are capable of translating multiple sign languages into text, a new study finds. The system uses seven rings with accelerometers to detect hand motion, achieving 88.3% and 88.5% accuracy for 100 common ASL and International Sign Language words, and can translate continuous sentences. Future work includes incorporating facial expressions and body posture, and migrating processing to smartphones.
