In CONTENT4ALL, a novel television studio for recording sign language content was developed together with the project partners. This studio does not have to be located at the TV station, but can be operated remotely, e.g. from the sign language interpreters' home. The interpreters would no longer have to travel to the TV studio and TV stations could produce sign language content more easily and cost-effectively. Thus, more TV content could also be offered with sign language.

The project has developed fundamental, important technologies and algorithms, including those for recording the signer in the studio, for processing and rendering the data, and for displaying the signer as a photorealistic virtual image. (Deaf) viewers would experience television content with a virtual 3D representation of the recorded sign language interpreter via HbbTV.

The project lasted from 2017 to 2020 and was funded by the European Union (grant number 762021) due to its high degree of innovation and novel technologies.

HFC was responsible for the entire user research. As in other projects, we contributed our contextual and methodological expertise in the areas of user-centered design, usability and user experience, and especially accessibility to the overall project and system development. Some results of our work can be found in the publications listed here.
