One kid has a non-white name but both sure look white. Why don't women or blacks ever do anything useful?

While most college undergraduates are spending their free periods on Facebook, two remarkable students have used their spare time to pioneer an invention that may change the very way we communicate. Navid Azodi and Thomas Pryor, sophomores at University of Washington (UW), have created lightweight gloves that can translate sign language instantly. Think of it as a Google Translate for your hands.
The SignAloud glove prototype recognizes hand gesture and placementsmatching them to the correct American Sign Language word or phrase. Sensors throughout the glove pick up the placement and motion data of the hands which is sent to a computer via Bluetooth. The computer analyzes the data, searching for a correlation in its database, and if it recognizes a gesture, then the ASL translation is played through a speaker. The students created the gloves using communal equiptment and resources in UW CoMotion MakerSpace, and have since won the Lemelson-MIT Undergraduate Student Prize and a smooth $10,000.
