Signaverse / Siti Nur Maisara Mohd Nor … [et al.]

We live in a world where language barriers have become an obstacle for people with disabilities such as the deaf and mute. Around 40,000 people in Malaysia have been registered as deaf-mute and hard-hearing individuals and most of them use sign language as their official language on a daily basis. In spite of this, the majority of Malaysians still have difficulty communicating with people who are deaf-mute as they did not learn sign language. Due to this, this project focuses on building a mobile application to learn Malaysia Sign Language (MSL) online called SignaVerse. This app is designed not only for deaf-mute people to learn, but also for normal people who want to learn sign language in order to overcome the language barrier. The users can play based learning from the beginner level until advanced level in interactive ways, interact with other people who have the same interest through online messages and live. It also consists of a system for text to MSL and MSL to text with 3D animation to make it easier while communicating between normal and deaf-mute people.
