Communication Device for Differently Abled

There are many challenges that differently abled people have to overcome when it comes to communication. H₂I^TM intends to discuss some of the possible solutions for designing and developing a device to facilitate seamless communication and interaction between them and rest of the world. Objective of this research is to open up the possibilities of upgrading gadgets made for differently abled people.

We have based the solutions on the simple concept of our sensory functions.

The 5 basic senses of human being as we rightly know are:

1)      Hear

2)     See

3)     Talk/Taste

4)     Smell

5)     Feel/ Gesture

The first 3 senses have been widely been explored in the communication field. The latter two are being developed to bring out futuristic communication possibilities.

Hence, utilizing each one of the above stated senses and applying combinations and permutations, we can surely facilitate easier communication methods for the disables with the rest of the world.

To facilitate seamless, uninterrupted, heterogeneous communication for less fortunate, and to provide entertainment, we would like to propose the following:

Proposed Salient Features:

Future scope:
