Chameleon
Chameleon is a motion capture technology that can change the way that we present Scripture to Deaf communities. The Chameleon technology captures the movements of a person signing Scripture and converts their appearance to an avatar.
Chameleon is an exciting software program that uses artificial intelligence and motion capture technology in sign language Bible translation and is used by Wycliffe in collaboration with partner organizations Deaf Bible Society, Deaf Mission, Pioneer Bible Translators and Wycliffe Australia.
In Deaf Scripture videos, actors are filmed signing passages, which makes this method dangerous in areas where Christians are persecuted. But God is using technology to make the impossible possible. Just like real chameleons change their appearance, Chameleon allows sign language translators to alter their appearances to communicate God's Word. A real person signs, Chameleon captures their movements and then it converts their appearance.
