Hand Wave - Real-time sign language translation with Meta AI glasses

Hand Wave is an open-source project that brings real-time sign language recognition to web and iOS platforms, powered by a neural network and Meta AI glasses. It uses a small Python inference service to detect and translate sign language gestures, making communication more accessible. The project integrates with Expo for mobile and supports on-device inference, offering a seamless experience for developers and users. With a demo available on YouTube, Hand Wave showcases the potential of wearable AR technology in breaking down communication barriers.

Hand Wave brings real-time sign language translation to your fingertips, using Meta AI glasses and a neural net to bridge communication gaps.
