SIGN 3D APP LAUNCH



DISCOVER SIGN 3D 

THE FIRST FRENCH SIGN LANGUAGE DICTIONARY (LSF) ON SMARTPHONES IN 3D !

MocapLab is proud to announce the launch of Sign3D, a unique mobile application that democratises  access to French Sign Language  (LSF).  Thanks to an interactive 3D avatar, Sign3D makes discovering LSF more accessible, engaging and customisable than ever before. 


AN INNOVATION  BACKED BY FRANCE 2030

Sign3D is the result of many years of R&D, financially backed by France 2030 through the Banque des Territoires (Caisse des Dépôts).  Sign3D was entirely designed by MocapLab with a clear goal:  to digitise and showcase French Sign Language and make it accessible to as many people as possible.  This application offers a modern and intuitive solution, made possible through an immersive experience  powered by  motion capture technology.


A 3D DICTIONARY

But there's more !  The app features an interactive 3D avatar.  Thanks to cutting-edge  motion capture developed by MocapLab , users can :

  • View signs from every angle
  • Adjust animation speed
  • Use Transparency Mode  (first-person view) to see gestures as  if you were performing them on your own
  • Activate Left-Handed Mode for greater inclusivity

Beyond enhanced visualisation, 3D technology also allows for the standardisation of the dictionary and the anonymisation of signers, while preserving the authenticity of each gesture.  


LEARN AT YOUR OWN PACE... WHILE HAVING FUN 

Sign3D goes far beyond being just a dictionary.  It offers a fun and intuitive way to explore LSF:

  • Themed playlists:  animals, work, school, sports etc
  • Current event playlists:  vocabulary related to current activities (holidays, elections...)
  • Interactive mini-games to test your knowledge
  • Custom playlists tailored to your needs
  • Bidirectional smart search:  Find a sign using a French word or, conversely, describe a sign to discover its meaning

And best of all:  once installed, everything is available offline!


FOR EVERYONE

Sign3D is designed for :

  • Curious learners wanting to  explore LSF
  • Experienced signers looking to enrich their vocabulary
  • Specialists searching for specific and precise terminology

The app is engaging and accessible, whatever  your level may be.


MOTION CAPTURE AT THE HEART OF THE PROJECT

At the core of Sign3D is Motion Capture - the technological backbone of the entire project.  MocapLab has brought its full expertise to the table to create a 3D avatar with exceptionally precise finger and body movements.

This technical achievement was made possible thanks to MocapLab's many years of research on movement, and its continued work surrounding Sign Language.  With a broad experience in film, video games, VR and beyond, MocapLab now delivers an innovative, educational and immersive tool that allows people to discover LSF like never before.  

Sign3D is now available on iOS and Android.  Download the App today !
