Hand in Hand Challenge has come to a successful close. Hand in Hand Challenge is for designing barrier-free services for daily life, including public transport, education, cultural life and residence and professional fields with sign language data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14 teams consisting of two to five team members interested in AI service development have participated in the event. All participants introduced various ideas for barrier-free AI services by utilizing sign language data such as public traffic reports, sign language translation and interpretation systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Hand Cream” team started with the idea that activating sign language translation as easy as google translation and suggested the sign language translation system for public transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This team demonstrated strong competencies in diverse fields such as system configuration, advancement and application plan and model design. Hand Cream proudly took first place by suggesting sign language translation model structures and displaying their code as GitHub to confirm its substantiality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMost of all, I was glad to develop a helpful service for the society with sign language data during the contest. Moreover, my team won the grand prize, so this contest is a very memorable event for me.\u201d – Jeongeun Lee<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was interested in sign language translation and creation models and had been studying it even before this contest. The award is meaningful as it confirms that the sign language dataset and our sign language model can create essential values. The sense of accomplishment and joy will be the driving force for me to continue studying sign language models.\u201d \u2013Hyewon Cho<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The second prize \u2013 \u201cSSSG\u201d with real-time sign language translation system with AR technology<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, the next grand prize-winning team is \u201cSSSG.\u201d The team members are Korea University alumni. They suggested an AR sign language translation solution for government offices such as public institutions and public offices for hard-of-hearing people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This team\u2019s AR sign language translation solution is advantageous as people can talk with others by looking at their eyes and facial expressions through AR glasses. Furthermore, this idea was praised because a person with disability does not have to buy the device as all necessary accessories can be mass-produced and distributed to all government offices. SSSG won second place with the great idea and practical AI technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI had not been desperate recently, but during the contest, I felt my lifespan has shrunk and was terrified by the tight deadline. It was helpful for me to get over with mannerism and was a good opportunity to witness how we can commit to society with our capacity. With the better results than I thought, it is indescribable how happy I am.\u201d \u2013 Seongpil Hwang<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
