Ghanaian game designer and immersive technology innovator Anthony Acheampong has developed The Silent Classroom, a virtual reality (VR) game designed to revolutionize the way American Sign Language (ASL) is taught and learned.
Inspired by his own experiences in ASL courses, Acheampong identified a significant gap in interactive resources for students to practice fingerspelling outside the classroom.
The Silent Classroom addresses this by providing real-time, AI-powered feedback on sign recognition, replicating the guidance students receive from instructors. "The game bridges this gap by providing real-time, accurate feedback on fingerspelling and sign recognition, ensuring a continuous and immersive learning experience," Acheampong explained.
The innovative tool has already gained industry recognition, earning approval on the highly selective Meta Horizon Store.
