Florida Atlantic University engineers are breaking communication barriers with AI. Researchers at FAU have developed a real-time American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation system that uses AI, hand tracking and deep learning to translate ASL gestures into text with 98% accuracy — all using a regular webcam.
This breakthrough could expand access and inclusivity for millions in the deaf and hard-of-hearing community by enabling smoother communication across classrooms, workplaces, healthcare and daily life.
