Scientists Invented Singing Gloves Like Black Warriors in Star Wars

Canadian scientists recently invented a miracle glove: Wear it and it will sing when you move your hands, but it sounds like the voice of Darth Vader in Star Wars.

The musical glove simulates a human vocal cord, and it produces a computerized voice, and each gesture produces a sound. However, the sound it produces sounds very much like the voice of Darth Vader in Star Wars, because it is not as sophisticated as the sound system in our throat. Sidney Fels, a professor of electronics and computer engineering at the University of British Columbia in Canada, developed this miracle glove. He believes that this glove's system will one day be simplified. To "speak" people who help to lose their language skills. But now, it is very complicated and it takes about 100 hours to learn how to operate. The main challenge for the user is to learn the left and right gloves to perform different duties.

Right hand gloves represent the opening and closing of the vocal tract. It contains a motion sensor that can detect whether the wearer's hand is open or closed. When you send a vowel, you need to turn on the channel. For example, you need to close the channel when you send consonants such as “SH” and “ZZ”. The left hand glove is equipped with a button that can start a pop sound, such as "p" and "b". A set of 3D position sensors for right-hand gloves can control the pitch. As the hand moves, the glove is above or below its starting position, causing the pitch to change. The volume level is controlled by a foot switch.

Gloves had just begun to develop into a speech synthesizer, but now it has been developed to have the ability to sing with the singer. The singer put on gloves to play "duet", they sing, gloves also sing. Scientists have spent decades developing simulation language. But until recently, engineers tried to simulate how our vocal cords were pronounced.

Last year, Professor Hideyuki Sawada from Kagawa University invented a "mouth robot" that could imitate human singing. The mouth robot's analog vocal system is surprisingly realistic. It can hear its own "sound" through the microphone, and then adjust its volume and pitch to simulate reality more realistically. This means that it will correct its mistakes and constantly try to make the sound sound better.

The machine uses eight artificial vocal cords to deflate the nasal cavity cavity and emit sound. The robot's lips and mouth are moving to help form the sound it makes.
