#sign language

Two college students from Univesity of Washington in US, Thomas Pryor and Navid Azodi, just won a $10,000 for inventing SignAloud – gloves that translate sign language into text and speech so that deaf and mute people can communicate with those who don't speak sign language. Watch the video below to know more about this new invention of SignAloud and how it can possibly achieve a new level of independence to over 70 million people.

If you are wondering why there's no cellular signal around Quiapo and neighboring areas from Globe and other telcos today, it's because they've cut off signal for security reasons as we celebrate the Black Nazarene. The request to cut off cell signal in those areas could be a precautionary measure (probably to hinder remotely-triggered bombs). Recent retail listings and leaked renders (9to5Google) reveal an elongated, pill-shaped design - distinct from the circular natures of Apple’s AirTag and Samsung’s Galaxy SmartTag.
