CineLIBRAS: uma proposta para geração automática e distribuição de janelas de LIBRAS em salas de cinema

Abstract

The deaf people face many difficulties to participate in the social life, to communicate with other people and to access information. Their participation in some environments as cinemas, theaters, educational environments, among others, is often limited due to the lack of solutions that enable their interaction and participation on these environments. When available, the accessibility resources for this audience is restricted to the use of subtitles in text format. However, the deaf have many difficulties in reading and writing the oral language of their country, since these languages are based on sounds. Therefore, to try reduce these problems, this work aims to develop a computational solution called CineLIBRAS. The proposal is that windows in Brazilian Sign Language (BSL), represented by a 3D avatar, are automatically generated from the contents of subtitles and distributed inside the cinema. Thus, the Brazilian deaf will follow the translated content in their natural language, the BSL, using a device mobile to receive video streams.
