• The barrier between deaf and hearing communities remains present nowadays, and sign language is the main medium allowing these two worlds to communicate. But learning sign language is a difficult task for any beginner and the actual learning tools are not adjusted to its richness and physicality, which make learning less engaging and accessible. 


  Sign language deserves learning tools adapted to its virtuosity.


  The aim of this project is to design a creative set of tools for beginners to make learning sign language more engaging, by using all of its power, potential and aesthetic.
