With Simax libretto42 translates texts and scenes into sign language using 3D Avatars
In contrast to conventional technologies Simax works with a learning database and sign language professionals for translation into 3D animated sign language.
Sign language is more intuitive to read than the written word for most deaf people. Just as hearing people can interpret the spoken word more directly and quickly than the written one. For this reason it is also easier to follow the plot of a play when the scene is translated into signs.
