Nvidia has launched Signs, a new AI-powered platform designed to teach American Sign Language (ASL). Developed in partnership with the American Society for Deaf Children and creative agency Hello Monday, Signs aims to bridge communication gaps by providing an interactive web platform for ASL learning. The platform utilizes AI to analyze users' movements through their webcams, offering real-time feedback and instruction via a 3D avatar demonstrating signs. It currently features a validated library of 100 signs, with plans to expand to 1,000 by collecting 400,000 video clips.
Signs is designed to support sign language learners of all levels and also allows contributors to add to Nvidia's growing ASL open-source video dataset. The dataset will be validated by fluent ASL users and interpreters. This dataset, slated for release later this year, will be a valuable resource for building accessible technologies like AI agents, digital human applications, and video conferencing tools. While the current focus is on hand movements and finger positions, future versions aim to incorporate facial expressions, head movements, and nuances like slang and regional variations.
