Abstract
Following the proliferation of smart handheld devices coupled with the launch of HbbTV 2.0 specification there is an emerging trend among broadcaster organisations to enable a higher degree of content accessibility across disabled communities. In this respect, the sign language interpreters play a crucial role in facilitating accessibility to main stream broadcaster content for the deaf community. Addressing the increasing demand placed on sign language interpreters and current limitations on delivering sign language content complementary to main stream media, this paper proposes the use of a low-cost 3D studio environment which enables photorealistic reconstruction of human avatars that captures the interpreter while eliminating the background.
