The technology seems nice and all, but what about translating spoken language back into sign? This allows for one way communication only? Seems like a waste of money to me.

Steven M: I was thinking the same thing. It may even be faster than strait typing to a proficient user of sign language as you can put down entire words with one gesture instead of typing the individual letters.

It might be great for the deaf, but I think there’s an even larger potential market: as an alternative keyboard for anybody. For example, I could picture using these and being able to put away my full-size keyboard. Or, to perform typing while riding on a train or plane. Or typing while in bed.
