Two UW undergraduate students won $10,000 for building a gadget-loaded glove that translates sign language gestures into audio.
A pair of undergraduates at the University of Washington made a glove that translates gestures in American Sign Language (ASL) into English and speaks it via speakers. The SignAloud glove won them a $10,000 Lemelson-MIT Student Prize and international attention.
