Students from Berghs School of Communication in Stockholm, Sweden want to help the deaf and the mute communicate with those around them better with a concept app and device. The concept imagines an app called Google Gesture to help translate sign language in real-time. The app will work with two arm bands that will be placed near the middle of the forearms. A process called electromyography will used to analyze the movements of the person signing. The signs will be interpreted by Google Gesture from a tablet or smartphone and speak this to the listener.
