| Description | In this paper, we report on CoUnSiL (Collaborative Universe for Sign Language), our ongoing project on the videoconferencing environment for remote interpreting of sign language. Our work is motivated by the lack of qualified interpreters capable of interpreting highly specialized courses at universities. We present the tool that ensures low latency and sustainable framerate of multiple video and audio streams. We describe both the user interface of the CoUnSiL application followed by the background technologies. Next, we present the three evaluations with users. |
