| Popis: | In this paper, we report on the development of a web application that displays Swiss German Sign Language (DSGS) signs for places with train stations in Switzerland in synthesized form, i.e., by means of a signing avatar. Ours is the first platform to make DSGS place name signs accessible in geolocalized form, i.e., by linking them to a map, and to use synthesized signing. The latter mode of display is advantageous over videos of human signers, since place name signs for any sign language are subject to language change. Our web application targets both deaf and hearing DSGS users. The underlying programming code is freely available. The application can be extended to display any kind of geolocalized data in any sign language. |
