Deafblind people could be able to understand live conversations
Thousands of people who are born deafblind could be able to understand live conversations for the first time owing to smart textiles being developed by the UK’s Nottingham Trent University.
This study could eventually allow the spoken word to be translated into a form of braille and communicated through e-textile gloves to the fingers of people who cannot hear or lipread.
For the full story, see the June 2025 edition of Smart Textiles & Wearables.
