  1. Visually Representing American Sign Language Translations Victor Geislinger CMPS 261 – Project Proposal

  2. Background/Motivation • American Sign Language (ASL) • Fingerspelling (FS) • Handshapes • Basis of language

  3. Background/Motivation • Interpreters • Emergency • Inaccessible • Expensive • Learning Tool • Feedback

  4. Method • Collect Data via Leap Motion Controller • Focus on hand(s)/finger(s) • Real time capture http://reviews.cnet.com/input-devices/leap-motion-controller/4505-3133_7-35823002.html

  5. Method • Categorize individual letters • Form hard to determine • Classify group shapes • Easier to guess • “Autocorrect” feature

  6. Method • Transitions sometimes exist as one unit • “J” and “Z” • Double letters • “I-L-Y” • “A-I-R” • “B-U-S”

  7. Output • Gives interpreted word/sentence • Color coded to give likely letter from shape group

  8. Output • Features other possible guesses • Given by opacity, position, and/or hierarchy tree • Gives timeline of duration of letter • Possibly used to visually see speed of speech

  9. Potential Issues/Challenges • Identifying letters from same group • Difficult/impossible to do with current technology • Differences in style/accent • Transition lengths • Output might have to many possibilities
