This project is investigating the use of various machine learning techniques with various gesture recognition devices to recognise gestures from the South African Sign Language alphabet. Three devices are being used, namely the Leap Motion Controller, Microsoft Kinect and Myo.

It makes use of three different gesture recognition devices, namely the Leap, the Myo and the Kinect, to gather data from skilled signers and to train various machine learning techniques on this data. ## Getting Started Each of the devices has it's own development environment in which the algorithms are trained. These are detailed below. By cloning this repo and running gather_data.py one is able to collect data from all three devices simultaneously. This requires both Python2.7 and Python3 to be installed on your computer. ### Leap ### Myo ### Kinect ## Bugs and Issues Have a bug or an issue with this project?
