The communication barrier between the deaf or hard of hearing community
and the general population is a significant challenge. While sign language
serves as a primary mode of communication for many individuals within the
deaf community, there remains a gap in real-time recognition and
interpretation of sign language gestures. Current methods often lack
efficiency, accuracy, and real-time processing capabilities, hindering effective
communication between sign language users and non-signers.
Real-time sign language gesture recognition technology enables the
instantaneous translation of sign language into spoken or written language. It
plays a significant role in bridging communication barriers for the deaf and
hard of hearing, fostering inclusivity and accessibility in everyday interactions.
