Hand gestures are an important part of nonverbal communication and form an integral part of our interactions with the environment. Notably, sign language is a set of hand gestures that is valuable to millions of disabled people.However, deaf/dumb users experience difficulty in communicating with the outside world as most neither understand nor can use sign language. Gesture recognition and classification platforms can aid in translating the gestures to those who do not understand sign language.
Indian Sign Language (ISL) is used in the deaf community all over India.
