Sign language can make possible effective communication between hearing and deaf-mute people. Despite years of extensive pedagogical research, learning sign language remains a formidable task, with the majority of the current systems relying extensively on online learning resources, presuming that users would regularly access them; yet, this approach can feel monotonous and repetitious. Recently, gamification has been proposed as a solution to the problem, however, the research focus is on game design, rather than user experience design. In this work, we present a system for user-defined interaction for learning static American Sign Language (ASL), supporting gesture recognition for user experience design, and enabling users to actively learn through involvement with user-defined gestures, rather than just passively absorbing knowledge. Early findings from a questionnaire-based survey show that users are more motivated to learn static ASL through user-defined interactions.
