About the solution

Burak’s invention features a glove a mobile app and is able to help sight, hearing and speech-impaired individuals. The wearable was designed as part of a project called "Engelleri Aşalım" ("Let's Overcome Obstacles") which led the student to win an award.

The goal of this gadget is to help people with disabilities by communicating and even complete transactions at banks and state institutions.

"The name of my project helps help sight, hearing and speech-impaired individuals communicate easily with other people. It will also increase their opportunities for employment because it makes communication easier. I wanted to help them do everything, in places like banks, on their own. After I saw an individual having trouble at the bank, I wanted to solve that problem and I came up with this project”, the developer explained.

The glove translates sign languages into written language via the five flex sensors it incorporates. They detect the movements and positions of the fingers. The wearable also enables its users to connect directly to their phones which means they do not need to hold the phone to talk just bring the glove closer to their ears.

The student aims to get his product into mass production.

    There is an expo centre presents in Lahore. But in Islamabad there is no expo centre. Many assignmentmasters order services events are conducted in them on daily basis and one can saw full details in TV channels. This place is the biggest place to introduce buyer and seller in front of each other.
