Deaf-Blind people and the new Lorm Glove

Currently it is just a prototype, but the Lorm Glove can help revolutionise technological text communication for the deaf-blind community. The touch alphabet, known as Lorm, is primarily used in Germany. Lorm is a touch language that is communicated by means of touching the palm of the hand in certain symbols, which represent letters of the alphabet.

This new Lorm Glove technology allows for deaf-blind people to be able to  receive and send messages, through the glove and to a computer. The idea is for deaf-blind people to be able to communicate through the Internet, weather it be through a text message, or email.

The Lorm Glove has vibration sensors in the back, and touch sensors in the front. The vibration sensors are for incoming conversation, and the touch sensors are for outgoing conversation. As seen in the video, the Lorm Glove can help deaf-blind people have a text message conversation with ease.

This technology is the next step for the very limited communication that deaf-blind people experience. It can allow deaf-blind people the ability to be able to be social. The future is in technology, and any technology that benefits physically disabled people is fantastic.
