Virtual Indian
Sign Language
Interpreter

I worked on a computer-vision system exploring how machines can understand human gestures and translate Indian Sign Language into a digital interaction.

Published as part of the 4th International Conference on Vision, Image and Signal Processing. This was one of the projects that shaped my interest in the space between human movement, perception and technology.
