“…The field currently lacks fundamental research on how users interact with sign language technology. A number of systems have been developed explicitly serving sign language users (e.g., messaging services [111,121], games [80,15], educational tools [94,4], webpages [92], dictionaries [102,14], and writing support [11,13]). However, accompanying user studies typically focus on evaluating a single system, and do not outline principles of interaction that apply across systems.…”

Developing successful sign language recognition, generation, and translation systems requires expertise in a wide range of fields, including computer vision, computer graphics, natural language processing, human-computer interaction, linguistics, and Deaf culture. Despite the need for deep interdisciplinary knowledge, existing research occurs in separate disciplinary silos, and tackles separate portions of the sign language processing pipeline. This leads to three key questions: 1) What does an interdisciplinary view of the current landscape reveal? 2) What are the biggest challenges facing the field? and 3) What are the calls to action for people working in the field? To help answer these questions, we brought together a diverse group of experts for a two-day workshop. This paper presents the results of that interdisciplinary workshop, providing key background that is often overlooked by computer scientists, a review of the state-of-the-art, a set of pressing challenges, and a call to action for the research community.Each group focused on the following questions:

“…Such applications enable the quick review of information rather than prolonged or deep learning. This makes them better suited for activities such as a status check, games, pictures, a request for just-in-time information, or a student response tool in the classroom [21]. However, few of the mentioned applications adopted the game-based concepts in developing their application of porotypes such as in [30].…”

“…Second, not all families in the Arab world can provide a special teacher to teach their deaf child sign language due to financial costs and time requirements [5]. Subsequently, when a deaf child has a deaf parent, it is much easier for them to learn sign language [21], otherwise, the family needs to provide a special teacher or to enrol the child into classes to learn the sign language; this may not be convenient in terms of location, time, and cost for the family. In addition, the delay in exposing deafmute children to sign language at an early age will delay their learning skills and add more challenges to their education, communication, and blending with the community [36], [37].…”

This research addresses the need for a mobile application to teach Arabic sign language to deaf children in the Arab world. Therefore, the team develops an educational android application to teach deaf children the Arabic sign language using gamification. Also, the research aims to investigate the impact of using a mobile application for Arabic sign language on children’s learning performance. To achieve its goals, the research entails two main stages. The first stage focuses on building the mobile application based on the literature review and searching the Google and Apple stores for similar applications. In the second stage, an experiment is conducted on 10 deaf children—the experimental group adopted the mobile application for the learning process, whereas the control group followed the traditional learning approach. A pre-test and post-test were conducted, and the results show that children who used the game-based mobile application performed better in their quiz.

“…In the literature, there are descriptions of several systems that use sign language to support deaf people. Examples of such solutions are: an Internet communicator [51], an application for sending SMS [52], games for the deaf [53,54], and educational tools [55,56]. In most cases, however, emerging systems are not based on sign language recognition and, therefore, do not meet the natural interaction paradigm.…”

The paper addresses the recognition of dynamic Polish Sign Language expressions in an experimental system supporting deaf people in an office when applying for an ID card. A method of processing a continuous stream of RGB-D data and a feature vector are proposed. The classification is carried out using the k-nearest neighbors algorithm with dynamic time warping, hidden Markov models, and bidirectional long short-term memory. The leave-one-subject-out protocol is used for the dataset containing 121 Polish Sign Language sentences performed five times by four deaf people. A data augmentation method is also proposed and tested. Preliminary observations and conclusions from the use of the system in a laboratory, as well as in real conditions with an experimental installation in the Office of Civil Affairs are given.
