HoloHear Is Like Google Translate for Deaf People

Deaf people primarily communicate through sign language, so understanding spoken languages can prove challenging. To bridge that gap in communication, the HoloHear team built a mixed reality app at a Microsoft HoloLens Hackathon in San Fransisco that translates the spoken word into sign language.
HoloHear not only translates the spoken word for the hearing impaired, but can also teach a hearing person sign language. When someone speaks aloud, a 3D holographic model appears to show the sentence using American Sign Language (ASL) in close to real time. In listen mode, deaf people can understand speech. In learning mode, the hearing can see what signs to make based on the words they use.
