The conundrum facing the deaf in the <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>dark is that they can't see an ASL interpreter, and captioning is difficult on a <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>round display and would interrupt the experience for hearing people. To solve <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>this problem, it's wearable computers to the rescue, as they can allow deaf <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>students to view the interpreter without disturbing other viewers.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>According to EurekAlert, the project is called "Signglasses," and it gives deaf <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>students a tiny ASL interpreter while watching the planetarium show. The Glass <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>display is visible in the dark and displays a video of the interpreter during <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>the show.
