What did you make?
> I built Gesture Link, a wearable assistive communication system designed to help visually impaired, hearing impaired, and speech impaired individuals communicate more easily. The project consists of three devices: Visora, a pair of AI-powered smart glasses that can identify objects and colors; Glove A, which converts hand gestures into spoken phrases; and Glove B, which converts speech into tactile Braille using vibration motors. Together, they create a real-time communication bridge that works completely offline.

What was the challenge?
> The main problem I wanted to solve was that many people with disabilities face communication barriers every day, and most existing solutions are either expensive, require internet access, or only address a single disability. I wanted to create a system that could help different groups communicate with each other directly.

From a technical side, the biggest challenge was getting multiple hardware devices, sensors, computer vision models, speech processing systems, and haptic feedback mechanisms to work together reliably. Since everything runs locally, I also had to optimize the software to work efficiently on resource-constrained hardware.

What are you proud of?
>I'm proud that I was able to take a real-world problem affecting billions of people and turn it into a complete working ecosystem rather than just a concept or a single prototype. Gesture Link combines computer vision, speech technology, wearable electronics, health monitoring, and haptic feedback into one integrated system designed to make communication more accessible. Over the past two months, I worked through numerous hardware and software challenges, from sensor integration and device communication to real-time processing, to bring all three modules together into a functional solution that can genuinely improve people's daily lives.

What should people know when testing your project?
>Gesture Link is primarily a hardware project, so it can't be fully tested directly from the repository. To make it as reproducible as possible, I've included the source code, documentation, component lists, and circuit diagrams for all the modules so anyone interested can build and test it themselves.

I'm also currently working on custom PCBs for the project and plan to open-source them soon, which will make the system much easier for others to build, modify, and improve.
