Ask HN: AI Sign Language translators - zunzun
Can AI be made to translate between different sign language variants? I would think computerized avatars could easily be trained, and grant money for such projects should be easy to come by. Computerized vision should be able to read sign language - especially in specific, limited visual settings and backgrounds.

It's not simple to do.

First you need a whole lot of data to train the system which doesn't really
exist (unlike the case of speech to text or one language to another(text to
text)). You would need to set up a big data collection project.

Secondly there are a whole bunch of different things to track. Movement of
multiple fingers, +palm, +entire hand, +facial expressions. Current state of
the art would be tracking a single thing like a ball or a player for sports
and that
a link, but I'd recommend you check it
