This project is a real-time sign language translator built around an Arduino Nano. It uses flex sensors and an accelerometer mounted on a glove to detect hand gestures and finger positions corresponding to different signs. The sensor data is processed by the Arduino, which then outputs the corresponding letter, word, or pre-recorded voice message via an LCD display and/or speaker module. Designed as an assistive tool for the deaf and hard of hearing, this low-cost, portable system helps bridge communication gaps in daily interactions. The project was developed as part of a college engineering initiative focused on social impact and embedded innovation.
