Inspiration
Our good friend's uncle was involved in a nearly-fatal injury. This led to him becoming deaf-blind at a very young age, without many ways to communicate with others. To help people like our friend's uncle, we decided to create HapticSpeak, a communication tool that transcends traditional barriers. As we have witnessed the challenges faced by deaf-blind individuals first hand, we were determined to bring help to these people.
What it does
Our project HapticSpeak can take a users voice, and then converts the voice to text. The text is then converted to morse code. At this point, the morse code is sent to an arduino using the bluetooth module, where the arduino will decode the morse code into it's haptic feedback equivalents, allowing for the deafblind indivudals to understand what the user's said.
