Serving Signtel Inc. as president since 2000, research and development specialist Raanan Liebermann has performed several extensive studies that resulted in innovations that offer new possibilities for people with special needs. For instance, Raanan Liebermann has patented his developed Touch Language, a new technology that benefits the blind and the deaf and blind.
Touch Language is a new language based on concepts rather than vocabulary or grammar. The concepts are identified by portions of the hands and fingers, making Touch Language a universal language – that is, it allows the user to communicate regardless of his or her culture or native language. Although the user will need time to learn Touch Language, the rewards make the effort worthwhile.
Designed to help the blind and the deaf and blind to communicate, Touch Language lets the user wear electronic gloves that allow communication through pecking and vibrations on the hands and fingers. Although Touch Language is still being incorporated into TV broadcasting, once it is fully implemented, Touch Language will also allow the blind and the deaf and blind to enjoy TV broadcasts.
Although Touch Language utility for TV is in the public domain that may be downloaded and studied at anytime, its creator has patented the product to protect its integrity. The patent will guarantee users that no partisan modifications will be made to the product that might confuse them. Any changes to the language will need to be approved by the World Touch Language Forum, which is expected to be in operation soon.
