Ryan Edinger
I am a junior at SDSU majoring in Mechanical Engineering and minoring in Physics. I took three years of American Sign Language in high school and really enjoyed learning about the language and Deaf culture. I am very excited to be working with the Kinect system and learning how deaf people process words and produce signs, in hope to be able to develop my own technology for the Deaf community.
