7. Brainstorm Interactive We are currently developing a gesture recognition to speech application for mobile devices using the kinect camera . Our prototype allows users to hold a normal spoken conversation over a mobile telephone through the recognition of their gestures ( sign language ). Our prototype uses the amazing gesture recognition capabilities of the kinect camera to make speaking over a telephone a possibility for those lacking the physical capability to articulate speech.
8. Brainstorm Interactive The application will include a reversed form of translation turning speech recognition into gestures that can be viewed on a screen. This feature allows for those who are mute and deaf to utilize the application as well. Additional features currently being considered are language translation allowing for gestures to be translated into any language; effectively allowing those who have never been able to use a telephone through articulated speech previously, to do so in any language they choose.
