Fostering signs

Diversity & Ethics

When it comes to translating sign language, a glove provides a helping hand.

In Georgia, a female founder is taking a more playful approach to teaching the language. Her startup’s app features a glowing figure who takes deaf people and their families on a journey into a magical world.

Thanks to animations and interactions with the character, those with significant hearing disabilities can learn to read, write and use sign language.

Friends and family members use the same resources to learn how to sign. Fostering communication between the groups. Work is underway to complete the first official version.

Another app enables users to learn sign language through a web camera. Some software detects those signing during video calls.
