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

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

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

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







3D Braille Map

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

At that moment, she realized that orienting herself in a 3D space ____ require both eyes.

This ____ her.

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

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

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

She based her ____ navigation device on this fact.

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

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

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




The heart of this device

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

Seoyoung coded the ____ to control 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 eighteen blocks of space before it, ____ 0.06 m3 in size.

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

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

When Seoyoung’s device worked for the first time, she ____ believe it.

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

When it worked ____, she started screaming with joy.

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

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




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 ____ came up with an idea for an app that could translate sign language.

In the end, they decided ____ 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.

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

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

At times, he ____ he was stuck.

____ that happened, he would go to sleep.

For ____, sleeping on it paid off.

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

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


When the user runs the app,

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

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

____ to Nand, his system 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 ____ part of existing communication platforms.

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

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

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