deaf entrepreneurs develop a tablet case that interprets gestures

Although 70 million of deaf people use sign language as their mother tongue, not everyone knows it, so communication is still a challenge.

Now, a team of entrepreneurs, all deaf, has come up with a tablet case called Uni that can translate sign language into text displayed on the tablet, bridging the gap between deaf and hearing.

Whenever someone signs, Uni\'s software remembers their actions and improves their translation.

Users can see if the software misunderstood their logo.

Uni also uses a microphone to detect voice and display it on the screen of the tablet for deaf people to read, which can be useful in situations where lip reading is difficult.

Entrepreneurs from the Rochester Institute of Technology for the National Deaf are raising money on Indiegogo to put their equipment into production.

self-stirring cauldron from harry potter

With the release of J.K. Rowling's The Cursed Child and the recent Harry Potter themed Wizarding contest here on Instructables, there has never been a better time to create my first Harry Potter themed project. All I needed was an inspirational idea.Fortunately my girlfriend came up with the wonderful suggestion of making the self-stirring cauldron. It was something that immediately captured my imagination and to my surprise there wasn't an Instructable for one, so I started work on it right away.

It was invented by Gaspard Shingleton and was sold in cauldron shops to assist the owner in the stirring of his or her potions. But of course

Image
Created by Arthur Conan Doyle, the detective Sherlock Holmes belongs to us all. As noted by the historian Michael Saler in "As If," his account of literary imaginary worlds, the great detective was modern fiction's "first virtual reality character" — given that part of his readership chose to believe that he was an actual person. The 1916 movie "Sherlock Holmes" (newly restored and released by Flicker Alley in a dual Blu-ray/DVD edition) grounds that character's virtual reality in a corporeal presence, namely that of the tall, craggy American actor William Gillette (1853-1937). Mr. Gillette, the son of a United States senator from Connecticut, weight was Holmes's contemporary. It was during the hiatus between the fictional character's apparent demise in a struggle with Professor Moriarty and his return to life by popular demand that Mr. Gillette got the opportunity to take the title role in a revision of Conan Doyle's unproduced Holme
