3Detailed description

The Gyro Glove is an electronic glove with several inertial sensors. The glove detects the rotation of all fingers and sends them to dedicated computer software that helps translate sign language into text.

Gyro Glove was born in 2015 during my Master in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of the Algarve. This project had the support of Prof. Dr. João Rodrigues and Prof. Dr. Jânio Monteiro.
