University of Washington (UW) engineers are developing a mobile device that uses motion detection to identify American Sign Language (ASL) and transmit the images over U.S. cellular networks. The MobileASL research team, primarily funded by the US National Science Foundation, is working on optimising compressed video signals by increasing image quality around the face and hands to bring down the data rate down to 30kbit/s while still delivering intelligible sign language.

"Ben Pena convicted by the jury on counts 1, 2, 3, 5, 6. Found not guilty on count 4. Verdict handed down at 2:45pm Eastern today. Trial ended at 3pm.

The judge will still make the final decision on an appropriate sentence..."
