Abstract

Sign language is the main communication mechanism used by deaf people to convey their ideas and interact in society; therefore, it is only possible to communicate with those who dominate it. Deaf people cannot have free social and cultural development in their environment. Therefore, this work focuses on proposing a methodology to create a virtual tool that allows deaf people to communicate directly with hearing people who do not know sign language, incorporating development methodologies (software engineering), software architectures, signal processing algorithms (audio, image, video) and artificial intelligence to obtain a software prototype that supports communication processes between deaf and hearing people.
