Abstract


This paper reports on advances in user experience design for a translator between sign languages. Specifically, we aim to support the communication between users of LSM (Mexican Sign Language) and Libras (Brazilian Sign Language). We report on preliminary results of a systematic literature review of related work and observations derived during the application of the early stages of the Lean UX methodology.
Keywords: User experience and Human-Computer Interaction, Inclusion, Equity and Accessibility, Applied informatics
