“The vast majority of people don’t understand sign language. Which means a lot of interesting conversations never take place.”
Inspired by this idea to bridge the gap and connect more people through gesture communication, a group of three recent graduates from the Berghs School of Communication came up with the concept for an app named ‘Google Gesture’, which is not a real service, nor officially produced by Google.
David Svedenström, August Östberg and Ludwig Hallstensson produced a conceptual film, in submission for Future Lions in Cannes, illustrating how ‘Google Gesture’ works.
With the help of forearm bands that “analyze the position and muscle activity in both your hand and forearm”, the exact sign that is being made can be identified. This information is then relayed to the ‘Google Gesture’ app, which translates the gestures into speech in real-time.
What are your thoughts about this concept?
