Signs AI

What is Signs AI?

Signs AI is an interactive web platform developed by NVIDIA, the American Society for Deaf Children, and Hello Monday/DEPT® to make American Sign Language learning accessible and collaborative. The platform uses advanced AI, computer vision, and a 3D avatar to teach users ASL, providing instant feedback on their signing through webcam analysis. Users can also contribute their own sign videos to expand the open-source dataset, which is validated by fluent ASL users and interpreters. This dataset is publicly available, supporting the development of future AI-driven accessibility tools and real-time sign language applications. Signs AI aims to bridge communication gaps between deaf and hearing communities and drive innovation in accessible technology.
