Sign Language Translation System Gets Conversations Going. A conversation between a hearing person and a hearing impaired person can be frustrating for both parties.
Usually limited to text messaging or writing on pieces of paper, the process is stilted and kind of impersonal. A very smart invention can make the conversation flow much more easily.

An accompanying bracelet senses the signs being made and translates them into spoken words. The words are played through the bracelet’s embedded speaker, allowing the hearing person to hear sign language.

I can't wait to see what makes it to the shortlists of our 134,000-plus users.» One of the refinements I'm most proud of is the increased accessibility of the app. For the first time, smartphone owners with visual disabilities will be able to use the Met App to find out more about what's happening at the Museum—made possible by V.1.1's compatibility with iOS Accessibility features including VoiceOver, Zoom, and Larger Text.

NEW YORK — On a recent Sunday, a group of museum visitors sat in front of a large canvas by the French artist Jean Dubuffet as their guide described the work — an abstract painting created with crumpled aluminum foil tinted with oil paint. The guide then invited them to create their own artwork using tin foil — a task the group enthusiastically embraced, creating an array of three-dimensional sculptures.
The group was participating in a program at the Museum of Modern Art called "Create Ability" for people with learning and developmental disabilities.
