Signs

American Sign Language, also known as ASL, is very popular, but finding AI tools to learn it can be tough compared to languages like English and Spanish. To fix this, NVIDIA worked with the American Society for Deaf Children and Hello Monday to create Signs, a fun and interactive web platform for learning ASL.

Key Features

Interactive Learning and Real Time Feedback

The platform uses a 3D avatar to show ASL signs, making it easy for users to learn new words. Users can get instant feedback on their signing by using their webcam. The AI watches the footage and gives tips. Anyone can contribute to the dataset by recording specific words, helping to build a large video collection for ASL.

Dataset and Validation

NVIDIA wants to grow the dataset to 400000 video clips showing 1000 signed words. Fluent ASL users and interpreters check the dataset to ensure it is accurate, creating a high quality visual dictionary and teaching tool.

Benefits

Accessible Communication

Most deaf children are born to hearing parents. Signs helps family members start learning ASL early, so they can communicate with their children as young as six to eight months old. The platform is for both beginners and experienced signers, helping to connect the Deaf and hearing communities.

Use Cases

Future Enhancements

Right now, the focus is on hand and finger movements. Future versions will include facial expressions and head movements, which are important in ASL. The team is looking into adding regional differences and slang terms to make the ASL database even better.
