Goals of our Research and Development
-
Our goal is to provide technologies that can be used to "sign enable" critical Web resources, with an emphasis on making educational content available to elementary and middle grade students.
-
This includes using the full expressive power of sign language, which uses not only the hand/arms, but also the face, body, and direction of gaze to express concepts, as shown in the images below.
-
Moreover, we wish to provide this sign language access in a manner that is cost-effective to create, edit, and disseminate via the Web.
