iPad application for the communication between deaf and hearing persons

I had an opportunity to talk to Masaaki Kimura, the miraculous guitarist of a band “Prospute”, which performed in Fukui yesterday.

Unfortunately, I don’t know how to use sign language, so Kimura introduced me the iPad application to communicate by writing with deaf persons which became useful for
Kimura and I.

As soon as Kimura showed me the application, I downloaded it and I found it very innovative.

In this application, as a user writes anything on one's screen, it also appears automatically on the other person’s screen at the same time. With one-touch operation, the users can easily erase and/or rewrite. Moreover, the colors are color-coded for the users to see which person is writing.
