Hey guys, so there was this video competition at my university where we had to present a potential business idea in 55 seconds or less.

My idea was to enable computers and such to automatically detect sign language and convert it to text as you're signing to a computer. So it'd be like typing with signing.

Anyhoo, thought I'd post the video here and see what people make of it.

Forgive me if this has already been done...

Enjoy :)
 
Easier said than done. Yes, there are a number of efforts out there with folks playing with Kinect and using that for gesture and very rudimentary ASL recognition. However, the nuances and contextual nature of ASL make it a very difficult thing to codify algorithmically. As machine learning evolves, eventually this will come to fruition, but I have to say we're looking at least 10 years out for the beginnings of commercial everyday rudimentary ASL/body-language/gesture communication, and _at least_ 20 years before it can conceivably hold any semblance of what Voice Recognition does today.

My prediction? ASL interpreters have nothing to fear for at least the next 30 years.

Great video VRS Engineer is correct. The odds of this been made possible anytime soon is slim. However I do not think that was the point was it? This just a class assignment right? I hope you got an A. It would be a great invention but more importantly if this is a business class my question would be how would you market such a product if it were possible. I think that may have been where the instructor was headed with this assignment. But I dont know good video. A little jumpy and I couldnt read all of it because of my bad eyes but A+ from me :D
 
Was this an assignment to create a product or to develop advertising typography? It appears to me that the emphasis is on the typography of the promotion, not the product itself. :hmm:
 
The British are already done that project it was featured in an article last year using bsl
