That sounds very cool

Badass.

This idea has been around since the 80s and sounds great at first but is actually problematic for a multitude of reasons. Sign languages utilise not only hand gestures but also body positions and facial expressions that gloves wouldn't track. Not to mention the vast differences between the many many different sign languages. The gloves can generally only translate manual spelling, which is a arduous process and only a tiny fraction of everyday conversation. Fundamentally, the concept puts the burden on Deaf people to accommodate the hearing world when it should be the other way around.
