This project is aimed to develop an automatic Indian Sign Language Education and Recognition Platform for hearing impaired student of India. The system can substantially help in the primary/vocational/higher education of hearing impaired student and people of India.The framework is proposed to be extended to 14 different languages of India with extensive interactive features in the audio-visual mode.

Another important aspect of the project is that, the proposed interactive system will be able to recognize different hand/body gestures of Indian Sign Language and the system can give the interpretation of the recognized gestures in the form of some text messages displayed in the computer monitor along with audio interpretation.

The important motivation of the proposed research/project is to develop an Indian Sign Language Recognition platform for mute people. Automatic sign language recognition offers enhancement of communication capabilities for the speech and hearing impaired, promising improved social opportunities and integration.

The objective of the proposed research/project work is to build a system that uses natural gestures as a modality for recognition in the vision-based and/or glove-based setup. The focus of the proposed project is to develop a Human Computer Interaction (HCI) platform in context to Indian Sign Language. The development of a system for translating Indian sign language into spoken language would be great help for deaf as well as hearing people of our country. In a country like India there is a need of automatic sign language recognition system, which can cater the need of hearing impaired people. Unfortunately, not much research works on Indian Sign Language recognition is reported till date.

Moreover, there is no officially recognized Indian Sign Language system. The ultimate gain of the proposed system would be enormous. The student will get acquainted with a comparatively latest technology in the form of HCI. We can even think of commercialization of the research outcomes in this area.
