Hello Ann,
Your email contains the germ of a solution for the deaf person:
the typewriter! If the deaf person has a keyboard and screen
facing away from them, they can type in the message for the
other person to see. No need for a glove.
BTW, the glove for deafblind has already been invented and patented.
And so has my typing system with screen facing away!
As for getting funding to develop one's good idea, that's a
real problem this side of the pond, especially if it is for the
disability market. No investor wants to know.
Cheers from Chiswick,
John
