Kinect Patent Says It Can Read Sign Language

By Alex Chen | January 01, 0001

The patent for Microsoft’s motion-sensing camera Kinect was released to the public last week, and while we knew most of the stuff contained within, I’d be lying u31.com เข้าสู่ระบบ if I said I knew the device could recognise sign language. But it u31.com เข้าสู่ระบบ does. At least, according to the patent it does (things may have changed since, we’re checking), as it says that thanks to Kinect’s ability u31 ทางเข้า to track hand and arm gestures, it can understand somebody signing at it in American Sign Language, and then convert it to either text or spoken word. A neat feature! It might be totally useless to most u31 เข้าสู่ระบบ of you, but anything that can improve the accessibility of games – and u31 ทางเข้า do it as seamlessly as allowing someone to u31 เข้าสู่ระบบ sign at their TV – is a welcome step forward nonetheless. Kinect patent detailed; American Sign Language supported [SlashGear]
