Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsVisually Impaired Children's Acceptances on Assistive CoursewareNurulnadwan Aziz, Nur Hazwani Mohamad Roseli, Ariffin Abdul MutalibProblem statement: The government of Malaysia is considering serious efforts in promoting the usage of computers among disabled people. Currently, the availability of computer applications especially related to creative contents for disabled people in Malaysia is infancy and very expensive. Research and expertise in the area of Assistive Technology (AT) in Malaysia is still uncommon and not extensively utilized. Therefore … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 7 Sep 2011 · 7,277 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRecognizing Sign Language Gestures Using a Hybrid Spatio-Temporal Deep Learning ModelMeryem Cherrate, My Abdelouahed Sabri, Ali Yahyaouy, Abdellah AarabRecognizing gestures in American Sign Language (ASL) from video data presents significant challenges due to the intricate combination of hand gestures, facial cues, and body motion. In this work, we introduce a hybrid deep learning framework that integrates Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for extracting spatial characteristics with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks for capturing temporal sequences. The model was trained … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 12 · 23 Jan 2026 · 2,048 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMulti-Controlled Wheelchair for Upper Extremities DisabilityChadi F. RimanPeople with motor disabilities are trying to be more autonomous by using an electric wheelchair with a conventional joystick control. However, a problem arises when these people are suffering from upper extremities disability such as tetraplegia. Several methods were implemented such as voice control, chin control, eye-blink, sip-and-puff, but each has its advantages and disadvantages. Furthermore, in some situations a … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 3 Dec 2018 · 7,244 accessesView PDF Cite
