As epidemic,dsasters and evil things are not tired of affecting humanity, Science and Technology are not tired of finding solutions to every form of evil that tend to devaste humanbeing all over the world as well,in view of that,There are many new technologies today and now that helps people with disabilities, be it blind,criplled,deaf etc today, new and smart technology has made a like live subtitling 24/7 device for deaf people!
in the news,it was made known by BBC that a device has been built specifically for the deaf so as to help them understand and commmunicate with every other normal person
Deaf people always remember the first time a new technology came on the scene, and made life just that little bit easier in a hearing world.it is otherwise known as Google Glass - wearable technology that positions a small computer screen above your right eye here's what one of the technologist has to say about it,
"I was excited on seeing the device, it is a Live subtitling 24/7 and calling up an in-vision interpreter at the touch of a button. such that both seemed possible.
That was some times ago. Since then, Tina Lannin of 121 Captions and Tim Scannell of Microlink have been working to make Google Glass for deaf people a reality. today the device is available for all!
First impressions are that it feels quite light, but it is difficult to position so that the glass lens is directly in front of your eye.
Once you get it in the "sweet spot" you can see a small transparent screen, it feels as though it is positioned somewhere in the distance, and is in sharp focus. The moment you get the screen into that position feels like another first - another moment when the possibilities feel real.
But switching your focus from the screen to what's going on around you can be a bit of a strain on the eyes.
The menu system is accessed in two ways. There is a touch screen on the side which can be swiped back and forth, up and down, and you tap to select the option you want.
