Lesson 2 Humans and Technology

Teen-Designed Tech for Improving Access

At ____ one billion people, or 15% of the world’s population, experience some form of disability.

In order to fully function in ____ life, they need to have the same physical and social access to the places, goods, and services in their communities as everyone else.

For many of them, ____, access still remains an issue.

Here are two ____ who presented new inventions to tackle the issue at an international science competition.







3D Braille Map

While thinking about her homework, ____ Jun closed one eye and successfully picked up her pencil holder.

At that moment, she realized that ____ herself in a 3D space didn’t require both eyes.

This ____ her.

With research, she learned that the ____ can process 3D information without any vision at all.

And with that, the idea for a ____ device for people with visual disabilities was born.

Those who have lost sight get their spatial information ____ from touch, not vision.

She based her new ____ device on this fact.

This little device ____ a beam of infrared light to gather 3D information about what may lie around the user, including walls and furniture.

The ____ beam conveys that information to the device, which then raises little pins to indicate where those obstacles are.

By “reading” the positions and ____ of those pins, the user can understand the arrangement of structures and objects lying ahead and navigate around them.




The heart of this device

The heart of this device is a 3D ____ sensor connected to a small computer.

Seoyoung coded the computer to ____ the nine motors lined up in three rows of three so that each motor could move a pin up and down.

The sensor can scan ____ blocks of space before it, each 0.06 m3 in size.

When it detects an obstacle in ____ of these blocks, the corresponding pin rises to either the middle or high position, depending on the height of the obstacle.

By running your hand over the nine pins, ____ can tell where the obstacles are and how high they are.

When Seoyoung’s device worked for the first ____, she didn’t believe it.

To be ____ it wasn’t a mistake, she shut it off and rebooted it.

When it worked again, she ____ screaming with joy.

It had been seven long months of research, building, and ____.

She imagines a future version that could be ____ to a smartphone, with more pins and more height positions.




Sign Language-to-Speech App

As a ____, Nand Vinchhi wanted to invent something that didn’t require a mechanical device.

One day, he was brainstorming with friends, and the group came up with an idea for an app that ____ translate sign language.

In the end, they ____ not to develop it, but Nand couldn’t stop thinking about the translator.

In just a ____ months, he developed an app based on artificial intelligence for translating American Sign Language (ASL) in real time.

____ app was basically a speech-to-text app for sign language, where hand movements corresponded to speech.

The hardest part was figuring ____ how to make the app recognize hand gestures.

At ____, he felt he was stuck.

When that happened, he would go to ____.

For Nand, sleeping on it paid ____.

He decided to focus on the body ____ which are important in signing, such as individual fingertips.

Using a machine-learning program, he then taught the app to identify those key ____ in the videos he took.


When the user runs the app,

When the user runs the app, gestures are ____ by the camera.

____, the app uses an algorithm to match the movements with words in ASL, which are turned into text and then spoken aloud.

According to Nand, his ____ now translates signs with 90.4% accuracy, and the delay from signing to translation is only about three-tenths of a second.

He imagines the technology could someday become part of ____ communication platforms.

That could help ____ speakers communicate with those who don’t know the language.

What these inventions have in common is a creative use of technology to enhance the daily lives of people with ____.

Their efforts will go a long way toward a ____ accessible world for all.
