A student project titled "Smart Gloves Based on the Internet of Things for the Deaf and Dumb" by students Husam El-Din Musallam, Afnan Al-Saqer, and Muhammad Musallam from Hijjawi Faculty for Engineering Technology at Yarmouk University received support from King Abdullah II Fund for Development in cooperation with the Jordanian Center for Design and Development. The project, which was supervised by Dr. Sherif Abdel-Razek from the Department of Communication Engineering, aims at designing smart gloves that can convert the sign language into spoken language in both Arabic and English and that can display speech on a touch screen. Also, the gloves can help the elderly who are deaf and dumb to control home appliances and take periodic readings of the vital indicators of the body, such as heartbeats, body temperature, and blood pressure. In case of any abnormal readings, an alert is sent to the doctor or specialist using the Internet of Things and the cellular communication network.
