About the project

 

We are developing a highly interactive learning tool to improve the mathematical abilities of deaf children. The program uses three dimensional animated signers to teach students and parents sign language for K-8 mathematical concepts through a variety of interactive activities.  

To achieve high visual quality and realism of motion we are using cutting-edge 3D Interactive Animation technology. The platform for the project is based on Maya 2008 (Autodesk), and Motion Builder 7.5  (Auotdesk) coupled with Macromedia Director & Shockwave3D for internet delivery. All the signs for mathematics terminology have been performed by a non-hearing signer and captured with highly accurate motion capture equipment.
