Computer graphical interfaces and text presented in software programs and on Internet Web Pages are part of the visual modality. However, this does not mean that, in being visual, these are equally accessible for deaf and hard of hearing people. Many deaf and hard of hearing individuals prefer communication presented in some variant of American Sign Language (ASL), their first language, and may choose if given the option, ASL-English interpreter services over English text captioning.SigningAvatar™ technology uses computer-generated 3D animated characters that can communicate in variants of ASL. This presentation demonstrated the SigningAvatar™ Authoring Tool software program, which allows users to rapidly create sign-enabled content to increase access of deaf and hard of hearing children and adults to digitally-based information.
