New tech translates American Sign Language gestures into text in real time using deep learning and hand tracking.

American Sign Language (ASL) recognition systems often struggle with accuracy due to similar gestures, poor image quality and inconsistent lighting. To address this, researchers developed a system ...

That data could also enable Nvidia to develop new ASL-related products down the road — for example, to improve sign recognition in video-conferencing software or gesture control in cars.

SLAIT School uses an updated version of the gesture recognition tech that powered the translator demo app to provide instant feedback on words and phrases.
