Proposal for an Interactive Software System Design for Learning Mexican Sign Language with Leap Motion

Abstract

The main objective of this work is to carry out a proposal of an interactive software system (ISS) design that makes use a Hardware device (Hw) “Leap Motion” and is centered average users as an interactive solution for communication with deaf people is feasible. With this proposal we hoped to achieve a natural recognition of hand movements, in this way will be obtained a support system for the average user in the learning of Mexican Sign Language (MSL) and, through gamification techniques applied to the ISS, the user can learn and communicate with a person with hearing impairment. To carry out this proposal we review the literature, in general we can observed that several of the papers consider another type of sign language or another technique for the recognition of signs, therefore, the number of papers that specifically focus on the “Mexican Sign Language” learning and that use the Hw of “Leap Motion” is considerably reduced. Which allows us to conclude that the proposal for the design of an ISS for training in the learning of Mexican Sign Language for average people is feasible not only by using an Hw tool that allows communication and interpretation of MSL and gamification techniques, It also has the support of related papers which guarantee that the “Leap Motion” is a tool that can be used for such action.
