It will offer both Irish Sign Language (ISL) or British Sign Language (BSL) interpreting at the touch of a button.

Rebecca Palmer uses sign language to make performances more accessible for deaf people.

The project will build tools to translate spoken language into photo-realistic sign language.

St Michael's primary school, Helston, has been teaching BSL to its students to use in its nativity.
