Innovation Description
This thoughtful effort of a young student enables deaf and dumb people to communicate with others as well as among themselves easily. This board has alphabets, numbers and commonly used words written on it. The user has a torch, which is used to illuminate a specific word, alphabet or number sequentially such that the person or a group viewing the board can understand and correctly interpret the meaning.
NIF has filed a patent for the technology in the innovator’s name.
