Puente Kinect

Using the gesture detection capabilities of motion sensing devices like Microsoft Kinect for Windows, we are building a system which detects sign language used by Speech impaired user and convert the sign into its equivalent text. This text is then transmitted to other user who does not know sign language, through a chat program. This text can also be converted into equivalent speech output using a Text-to-speech engine. The other user then responds back by typing text into the chat program or speech which is converted back into equivalent text and transmitted back to the speech impaired person. This text is displayed on Speech impaired person's screen enabling a bi-directional real-time communication
