SignLab was spun-off from the founder’s research project on how we can combine artificial intelligence and virtual reality to help parents to deaf children better learn sign language. After several emotional meetings with young parents trying and failing to learn sign language in Norway, he experienced an acute need for turning research into practice – this eventually became SignLab.
