how long until we start seeing computer vision applications that translate sign language? It's a pretty hard problem, but definitely something that's feasible with the right methods.

It's already there, but the different sentence creation + difficult in understanding moves that can vary a lot makes it not viable now.
Curious: how do you imagine people using this?
Wouldn't this be used in the same way as with any other language? I.e. customer only knows english sign language, but I don't, luckily my cash-register has a camera that can translate sign language to my language?
