  • Patent number: 9536453
    Abstract: Computing systems are provided for facilitating communication to the hearing-impaired. The computing systems obtain and modify a video that includes a signer performing sign language about a topic. The video is then modified and presented to a viewer in such a way that the viewer can simultaneously view the sign language and the one or more objects corresponding to the topic. In some instances, the modified video is blended with another video corresponding to the same topic so as to enable a user to view the sign language at the same time as the corresponding video presentation. This can be done in real-time or with a time delay. In other instances, the modified video is rendered on a display through which the user is also viewing the one or more related items associated with the sign language.
