Talking Hands is a Wearable Device for Deaf People. It Translates your Sign Language into Voice.
LiMiX Srl is a young and dynamic Italian startup founded by two young students, Francesco Pezzuoli and Dario Corona. The idea of founding Limix arose after the victory of “Talking Hands” at Startup Weekend of Ascoli Piceno in October 2014.
This adventure has been always supported by the University of Camerino and by Eta Srl and EOS Spa, two Italian companies, all co-founders of Limix.
During the first year of research, we realized the functional prototype and we presented it in different competitions.
We won the StartCup Marche and E-Capital, which gave us enough funds to go on with Talking Hands.
In October 2016, “Talking Hands” won the R.O.M.E. Prize, 100.000€ for the Europen Project with the highest social impact presented at the Maker Faire Rome!
Since 2015, we are working on Talking Hands, a sensor glove to improving deaf people communication.
After two years of researches and developments, we are ready to sell it!
