Abstract
For this research project, I have built the prototype for an Android app that helps people effectively learn American Sign Language (ASL). ASL is the communication method for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. It is comprised of a series of hand motions that represent letter, numbers, words, and concepts. The early versions of the app will teach users the alphabet, numbers, and some words to help them get started. Later versions of the app will teach users how to create sentences in sign language and supply the user with gifs and videos on how to convey their messages. The app will also teach the user about the deaf community and deaf culture. The goal for my app is to create an effective, efficient, and fun way to learn sign language.
