Inspired by Buddhist prayer beads, this translation device takes the form of a bracelet with detachable rings. Hearing impaired people can wear those rings on their fingers and use sign language to communicate with others, those rings will detect and track sign motions and translate these signs to voice/text emitted by the bracelet. The system can learn its user’s gestures, the user can pre-record singing movements and assign any appropriate words to allow the system to display appropriate word based on user’s particular movements. When not in use, user can keep those rings back into the bracelet.
