Abstract

Claims (35)

1. A system comprising:

a computing platform including a processing hardware and a system memory storing a software code;

the processing hardware configured to execute the software code to:

receive content including at least one of a sequence of audio frames or a sequence of video frames;

perform an analysis of the content;

identify, based on the analysis, a message conveyed by the content;

generate a sign language translation of the content, the sign language translation including one or more of a gesture, body language, or a facial expression communicating the message;

broadcast or stream the sign language translation, over a first communication channel, to a remote client system for rendering on a first display of the remote client system; and

concurrently with broadcasting or streaming the sign language translation, broadcast or stream the content, over a second communication channel separate from the first communication channel, to the remote client system for rendering on a second display of the remote client system.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the content is rendered on the second display, concurrently with rendering a performance of the sign language translation on the first display.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein a performance of the sign language translation is rendered using a digital character.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein a performance of the sign language translation is rendered on the first display such that the sign language translation is visible to at least one, but not all of a plurality of users concurrently viewing the content on the first display.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the remote client system comprises an augmented reality (AR) viewer.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the content comprises digital representations that populate a virtual reality, augmented reality, or mixed reality environment.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processing hardware is further configured to execute the software code to:

synchronize the sign language translation to one of a timecode of the content, the sequence of audio frames, or the sequence of video frames.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processing hardware is further configured to execute the software code to:

generate the sign language translation dynamically during the broadcasting or the streaming of the content.

9. A method comprising:

receiving content including at least one of a sequence of audio frames or a sequence of video frames;

performing an analysis of the content;

identifying, based on the analysis, a message conveyed by the content;

generating a sign language translation of the content, the sign language translation including one or more of a gesture, body language, or a facial expression communicating the message;

broadcasting or streaming the sign language translation, over a first communication channel, to a remote client system for rendering on a first display of the remote client system; and

concurrently with broadcasting or streaming the sign language translation, broadcasting or streaming the content, over a second communication channel separate from the first communication channel, to the remote client system for rendering on a second display of the remote client system.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

rendering, concurrently with rendering the content on the second display, a performance of the sign language translation on the first display.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein a performance of the sign language translation is rendered using a digital character.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the sign language translation is rendered on the first display such that the sign language translation is visible to at least one, but not all of a plurality of users concurrently viewing the content on the first display.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the remote client system comprises an augmented reality (AR) viewer.

14. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

before rendering a performance of the sign language translation on the first display, synchronizing the sign language translation to one of a timecode of the content, the sequence of audio frames, or the sequence of video frames.

15. The method of claim 9 , wherein the content comprises digital representations that populate a virtual reality, augmented reality, or mixed reality environment.

16. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

generating the sign language translation dynamically during the broadcasting or the streaming of the content.
