Abstract

An Interactive American Sign Language (ASL) to English dictionary, the first to the best of our knowledge, is presented in this work. By means of a novel gestural interface users input the unknown sign and get the equivalent English word in an interactive way. Instrumentation and methods discussed here can be adapted to other applications whit multidimensional inputs.
