| Popis: | The hearing impaired community faces many challenges during their daily life and communication is the most talked about problem out of them. A conclusion based on some research suggests that rather than one on one communication with their fellow hearing impaired friends, what they find more difficult is to capture their peers attention when they are in a group, at class or at work. Differently abled students in class struggle to capture the attention of their fellow friends and teachers struggle to capture the attention of the students. The current solution for which is flickering the classroom lights which is very rudimentary and ineffective in places other than the classroom. Hard of hearing working professionals go through the same struggle every day to capture their nearby colleagues attention.The conceptualised solution is a wearable device called ACVA( Assistive Communicative Vibrating Aid). It is a wearable wristband which contains an OLED display and a vibrating module. The aim is to transform natural communicative gestures into a form that can be sensed by the differently abled, helping them with effective communication and mainstreaming their communicative conducts. By converting clap gesture into a broadcast signal using Wifi technology, the device can bridge the gap between Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) and general human behavioural communication.ACVA proposes to achieve an interface that allows the differently abled to culminate natural communicative gestures to provide ease in attention capturing during interpersonal or group level communications. |
