Brian, it's amazing to see this being worked on. I've been puzzling about whether it makes sense to learn ASL and whether it can have a role in human-computer interaction. This confirms it! Aside from being faster than typing, this work is important for the sake of accessibility.

Lucas, thank you! Indeed this will bring
#VoiceFirst to those that can not use their voice box. But it will also give all of us a super power that allows us to rise up from our keyboards and thumb clawing at glass. We have amIng times ahead.

I'm fascinated by this, but also curious - since so much of ASL also comes from body / facial language. I suppose if it's a replacement for QWERTY inputs then it makes more sense, but that's a small subset of ASL (as I'm sure you know! :) ). Would love sentiment analysis for ASL.

Cory, thanks for asking. Great points. Indeed I use emotional intent extraction along with ASL to gain deeper meaning and intents. It is not so much a QWERTY replacement as a voice replacement for quite environments.
#VoiceFirst deniers think QWERTY is required.

This is a bit impractical. ASL is a whole language separate from US English.

Rachel, I hear ya. The primary point is for folks that do not have use of a voice box. However in my work I discovered how efficient and fast it was. In my presentation I show how long it takes for a child to learn to use a keyboard vs sign language. The insights blew me away.

Amazing. This capability has many uses beyond aphonia. Look forward to its evolution.
