Data recording and analysis of American Sign Language

People who are deaf often turn to American Sign Language (ASL) to help them communicate with others. Though It is an effective means of communicating, most people do not understand ASL. Current technology such as the Cyberglove and Flock of Birds can digitize sign language to be read by a computer. After these data have been recorded, analysis of its accuracy can be verified through the use of cameras and 3D-rendering programs like Jack 3.0. Upon verification of accuracy, the biomechanics can be explored in foresight of developing translators that will transform sign into voice.
