SiMAX - The Sign Language Avatar

SiMAX - Avatar for Sign Language

Deaf people communicate in sign language - instead of acoustic signs they use visual ones. Sign languages are full-fledged languages and at least as complex as spoken languages. Sign language translations of written texts on homepages or the dubbing of spoken content of a TV show are currently only possible using video. These videos are currently produced very elaborately with human actors in a studio.

However, the demand for translations and dubbing far exceeds the possibilities of studio productions. The future therefore belongs to SiMAX. This is a software system for translation into sign language. Instead of a human being, an animated avatar signs. SiMAX translates cheaply and quickly. The avatars are interchangeable and can - especially important for sign language - represent emotions and body language.
