Signing avatar

Every sign, rendered clean and clear.

A precise avatar that reproduces handshapes, finger positions, and movement for each sign — driven by a MediaPipe-style landmark stream and drawn as crisp vectors that stay sharp at any size.

  • Accurate handshapes and finger articulation for every sign
  • Crisp vector rendering that stays sharp at any size
  • Driven by a MediaPipe-style landmark stream
  • Same renderer for embedded and standalone use
