We present an overview of the SignGuide project. Its main goal is to develop a prototype interactive museum guide system for deaf visitors using mobile devices that will be able to receive visitors’ questions in their native (sign language) with regard to the exhibits and to provide additional content also in sign language using an avatar or video, utilizing techniques from the field of computer vision and machine learning. The paper presents the basic ideas and technologies involved as well as some preliminary results.
