developing sign language for cell phones

2008-12-09T10:19:00.004+07:00

a team of researchers from University of Washington- supported mainly by grants from the National Science Foundation- plan to develop a software (with processing power great enough to support real-time, two-way video on cell phones that allow signing communication) that would help the deaf and hard-of-hearing making conversation on mobile phone.the project was called MobileASL (American Sign Language).
The main hindrance in archieving a system is low data-transmission rates on U.S. cellular networks and limited processing power on mobile devices which make visuals and sign impossible to follow. the team is working around this by increasing the bit rate around the face and hands, while slowing it down for the surroundings that do not matter too much.
(People are already able to use sign language effectively in Japan and Sweden because of higher bandwidth networks).

The MobileASL project is led by principal investigator Eve Riskin, a University of Washington professor of electrical engineering. Co-leaders include Information School professor Jacob Wobbrock and Richard Ladner, a longtime professor of Computer Science and Engineering.

Surgeon Amputates Using Texted Instructions

2008-12-04T09:46:00.004+07:00

a british surgeon volunteering in The Republic Democratic of Congo --David Nott, 52, a general and vascular surgeon at Chelsea and Westminster hospital-- followed texted instructions to perform an amputation that saved a 16-year-old boy's life.

events that occur when David Nott saw the injury of a 16-year old boy in the town of Rutshuru. The teenager's left arm had been so badly injured and infected-- either in an accident or as a result of the fighting between Congolese and rebel troops-- that it had already had to be amputated. The problem was that it was an operation David Nott had never performed. But he remembered that one of his colleagues at home had carried out the procedure then he contacted his colleagues via phone text, "and he texted back step-by-step instructions," the guardian reports

"I texted him and he texted back step-by-step instructions. Even then I had to think long and hard about whether it was right to leave a young boy with only one arm in the middle of this fighting. But in the end he would have died without it, so I took a deep breath and followed the instructions to the letter." David Nott said.

an operation would ideally have been carefully planned and prepped, but in this case David Nott had just one pint of blood and an elementary operating theatre. Despite the basic conditions, the operation was a success and the teenager made a full recovery.
