Software engineer Adam Munder is on a mission to break down communication barriers between the Deaf and hearing worlds. In a live demo, he introduces OmniBridge — an AI platform that translates American Sign Language into English text in real time — and demonstrates how this tech could ensure every conversation can be fully understood, regardless of the participants’ hearing abilities. Munder is joined onstage by ASL interpreter Christan Hansen and TED’s Hasiba Haq. (Made in partnership with Intel) (Recorded at TEDNext 2024 on October 22, 2024)

ever feel like you’re the one no one notices, no matter what you do? i’ve been there. i tried all the advice out there, but nothing stuck until i read Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki. the insights in chapter 3 blew my mind—it taught me how to let my energy do the talking before i even say a word.
@SandeepChauhan-mw6un
January 16, 2025 at 6:53 pm
for the longest time, i thought being magnetic was something you either had or didn’t. i used to watch others shine while i felt stuck. then i found Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki, and it made me realize it’s all about the vibe you give off. chapter 3 especially changed the way i carry myself—it’s such a powerful shift.
@STsorenofficial851

if you’ve ever felt like no one notices you, trust me, i get it. i felt like that for years, trying all the confidence hacks and advice out there. but nothing clicked until i read Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki. there’s something about chapter 3—it’s like the missing puzzle piece i didn’t know i needed.
@M.DArsheAlamKhan
January 16, 2025 at 6:53 pm
i was just like you, wondering why some people effortlessly draw attention while i felt invisible. nothing i tried seemed to work. then i came across Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki, and it completely shifted my perspective. the way chapter 3 explains energy and presence? it’s like unlocking the secret to being noticed.
@SaddamHussain-yt2lq
January 16, 2025 at 6:53 pm
been there, feeling like no matter how hard i tried, i just didn’t stand out. then i picked up Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki, and honestly, it changed everything. chapter 3 opened my eyes to how energy works—it’s not about effort, it’s about alignment. people started noticing me in ways they never had before.

The software can translate sign language into words, but it cannot do the opposite. It would be nice if it went both ways. Thank you from Brazil.

Communication by using your hands not mouths is so peaceful and meaningful. As a someone who likes the silence,i really appriciate deaf people’s communicate methods. This world is full of noise. ????Thank you Mr. ❤

Whatever makes him happy but I don’t get how it would be that much different than the deaf person writing it out . The fact that he gets to sign at the same time as the dictation appears on the screen doesn’t seem all that special to me since most readers can’t focus easily on both of the same time anyway and are going to be mostly looking at the text.

I’ve been seeing a lot of content on communicative and general inclusivity recently which is cool
I think in the future we will probably wear AR glasses which automatically interpret any language auditory or visual and then you could voice or “type” a reply using your eyes in your own language and it would translate it outloud or show the sign language externally on your glasses screen, the technology for this isn’t yet ready as the glasses are too bulky and expensive and the tech is overall pretty difficult and clunky but we will get there, another possibility is for a machine to project a sort of hologram which translates for you but this would probably be less viable. Both of these ideas might be a tad overnegineered ????
