The goal of our project was to create a traveling ASL teaching device. This device would use a glove to capture ASL gestures, machine learning software to make a prediction, and an LED light projector to display our output (making it visible to larger audiences). The glove will have various sensors mounted on it:
Keonni is a Photonics and Optics engineering student and will be graduating with a bachelors in science. She plans on pursuing developmental engineering for the Air Force or Space Force after completing her bachelors degree in Fall 2021. She has always enjoyed her lab courses that incorporated optics and laser technology and she hopes to carry that experience into weapon and space technology in the future.
Kayode is studying at UCF’s College of Engineering and Computer Science to earn a Bachelors in Computer Engineering. He currently works at United Parcel Services in the Systems Engineering department as a supervisor. Although he has multiple years of managerial experience, he hopes to start a career in hardware engineering or electrical field after graduation. Kayode has a diverse skill set and is well versed with different programming languages both for software and hardware development, he is also experienced with embedded systems and in charge of ensuring the photonics, electrical and the software development parts of the project are in correlation with one another and can yield a seamless outcome.
Lens is an international student at the University of Central Florida graduating with a bachelors in electrical engineering, born in 1993 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. As a teenager, Lens enjoyed working in electrical projects in his country alongside reputed electricians in his city. Lens gained a passion for the electrical field; therefore, he decided to deepen his knowledge of the field. Lens took several classes in Electrical Engineering, which is his major, with a focus on power and renewable energy track. He enjoys designing and solving electrical circuits. Lens plans to work with clean energy companies after he gets his bachelor’s degree. One of Lens’s biggest ambitions is to bring back to his city, on a small scale, then to his country the knowledge he acquired to provide power even to the neglected areas so he can influence and motivate his generation and the generations to come to work together so that the country can have the most stable power it has never had in the past. He is hopeful for what he will bring to his family and community back home.
Miguel will be graduating with a bachelors in computer engineering. He has always enjoyed courses that involved programming and software. He hopes to start a career in software programming after graduation but is open to start in any Computer Engineering position after graduation. Miguel is currently in pursuit of a career to start applying his skills learned in university and also to learn on the field skills. Miguel is in charge of the machine learning software research and development. He has taken a course that worked with machine learning and has some experience with python. Miguel knows the software development for this project will be a challenge, but he believes it will be exciting and help with his career pursuit. Miguel will also help program the devices and sensors we will be using and is open to help in anything electrical. Miguel said he believes the biggest obstacle for him will be developing a well-trained machine learning model and has asked the group to be open to helping with concepts and ideas.
