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.
