Also, many native signers sign very, very quickly.  <br><br>They must be using an impressive compression technique to be able to capture fast motion signers and not lose video integrity.  Some of the success of this also depends on how good the camera/recieving displays are.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mike]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 14th 2007 11:16PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Detection algorithms to enable sign language on-the-go]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/14/detection-algorithms-to-enable-sign-language-on-the-go/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/14/detection-algorithms-to-enable-sign-language-on-the-go/</guid><description><![CDATA[Now, instead of blindly looking at your phone, you can stop whatever is going to hit you in the face.

Why whouldn't you store the motions in the phone, broadcast a code corresponding to the motion to the recipient, and then have the recipient's phone convert the motion into a little icon (or words).<br><br>That would save a lot of BW.<br><br>I don't really see the point at all though.  I guess if you're deaf and talking to someone who is blind (so they can't text but could sign if they knew how) then it would be very helpful to you.  Any other combination of handicaps could just text or talk.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[andy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 14th 2007 3:59PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Detection algorithms to enable sign language on-the-go]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/14/detection-algorithms-to-enable-sign-language-on-the-go/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/14/detection-algorithms-to-enable-sign-language-on-the-go/</guid><description><![CDATA[Are you effing kidding me?

I believe the term "mute" still means "incapable of speaking." And, sign language is commonly used amoung individuals with speech disorders, etc.  This is a population of people who are all too commonly forgotten. So, relax! The author of the article was educated enough to acknowledge this group as well as the deaf community could benefit from this technology.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Angela]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 18th 2007 3:15PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
