Building Inclusive AI Experiences with Sign Language and GenAI

About this event

What if your phone could read your hands the way it reads your taps? Imagine making the gesture for weather and instantly hearing today's forecast, or using the sign for traffic to learn whether the road is clear - all without a keystroke. By pairing real-time gesture recognition with generative AI, we unlock a playful, inclusive interface for everyone. In this talk, you’ll see how computer-vision models, Keras, Gemini, and Firebase Genkit combine to build a sign-language-savvy mobile app.
