Oooh, now we get it. HandTalk converts hand gestures like sign language into spoken words. Well, don’t we feel foolish. The device was developed by a group of nerds at Carnegie Mellon, and can track finger and hand gestures with a vocabulary of 32 words in its existing v0.1 model. The signals are transmitted from the glove to a phone by Bluetooth, where the

words are converted with text to speech software. Not poor for for a bunch of off-the-shelf components, but they could’ve scored double the nerd points by repurposing a ability Glove for that — gotta think big picture, humans.
