A talk in Aberdeen will discuss a new product which could drastically transform how sign language users communicate. Computing scientists at Technabling Ltd, a spin-off company of the University of Aberdeen, are working towards creating a new software app that would allow users to hold a smartphone at someone using sign language and translate what they are communicating.
A free public event about the software will take place on Wednesday, October 10 at Waterstones’ Langstane branch at 7pm. Dr Ernesto Compatangelo, technabling research and development director and lecturer in computing science, will give an insight into the research at the latest in the Café Scientifique series of talks organised by the university.The software application being developed is the first of its kind in the world which can be used on portable devices and allows users to customise sign language to their own specific needs. The technology has the potential to transform how sign language users communicate, whether they are profoundly deaf or have lost hearing in later life.
