Lesson 2 Humans and Technology

Teen-Designed Tech for Improving Access

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

In order to fully ____ in everyday 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, however, ____ still remains an issue.

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







3D Braille Map

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

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

____ surprised her.

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

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

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

She based her new ____ device on this fact.

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

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

By “reading” the positions ____ heights 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 depth sensor connected to ____ small computer.

Seoyoung coded the computer ____ 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 ____ eighteen blocks of space before it, each 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 ____ obstacle.

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

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

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

____ it worked again, she started screaming with joy.

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

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




Sign Language-to-Speech App

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

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

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

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

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

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

____ times, he felt he was stuck.

When that happened, ____ would go to sleep.

For Nand, sleeping on it ____ off.

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

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


When the user runs the app,

When the user runs ____ 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 ____ then spoken aloud.

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

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

That could help ASL speakers communicate with those who ____ know the language.

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

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