Request: AI-based Deaf Sign Language Project using RealSense

Follow
Yasodeafs
Hello Intel RealSense Team, I am working on a non-commercial AI project called ChatDEAF. It aims to support the Deaf community through gesture and sign language recognition. We are trying to integrate Intel RealSense cameras (D400 or F400 series) for hand, face, and expression detection in real-time. Could you please guide us on: 1. Best camera models for this use case 2. SDK/tools to start integration 3. Any contact or documentation for accessibility-focused AI projects Thank you for your support — this is very meaningful for our Deaf users worldwide. Kind regards, Yasin Şimşek Founder – ChatDEAF yasodeafs@gmail.com

    Hi Yasodeafs  The RealSense D435 camera model is likely to meet your requirements, as long as the person is standing 1.5 meters or more from the camera.  Its field of vision is wide enough to capture a person standing in front of it and hand-gesturing.

     

    The RealSense SDK software does not have face and gesture detection built in, and if your project is non-commercial then a RealSense-compatible commercial gesture and face tracking solution may not meet your needs.

     

    It is possible to train a recognition dataset yourself using RealSense cameras, as described by an Intel seminar video on YouTube, and therefore comply with your non-commercial goals.

    In regard to RealSense and AI accessibility, the case-study article about Lumen may be a helpful reference.

    Hi MartyG and RealSense Team,

    Thank you so much for your detailed and respectful response.

    I truly appreciate your suggestions regarding the D435 model and the possibility of training a recognition dataset for non-commercial purposes. This aligns well with the mission of our ChatDEAF project, which is focused on AI-driven accessibility for the Deaf community.

    We will definitely review the resources you shared, including the Lumen case study and the YouTube seminar. If we have further technical questions during the training phase, we would be honored to reach out again.

    Thanks again for supporting accessibility and innovation.

    Kind regards,

    Dear Marty,

    Thank you for your positive response and support.
    I’m currently advancing ChatDEAF’s prototype stage and your openness to future technical questions means a lot.
    Once we finalize the team and move deeper into training, I hope to share updates with the RealSense community.

    Warm regards,
