- Problem Statment
The community commonly believes that American Sign Language (ASL) is a language expressed solely by signing in the linguistic property of the English-Speaking structure.
- Mission Statment
ASL isn’t expressed by only speaking in words. ASL makes great use of classifiers, which are signs that use hand-shapes that describe a variety of objects. Classifiers use one of five basic parameters: hand-shape itself, movement, location, palm orientation, and nonmanual markers/facial expression in the aspect of body language.
- Identity Guidelines/Logo
The Bionic Arm Project reveals the white logo with a line stroke to follow the square. These have a clear space with four circles on top/bottom and slides. It is also making perfectly two circles in the entire shape.
The logo represents the shape of the B letter in sign language and is more straightforward and futuristic.
- How
Follow the outlined lists of examples in the introduction of the Classifier. CL stands for the classifier, which, in its basic sign can be a number, a letter of the alphabet, or a familiar common sign.

Technology
The Bionic Arm Project will be planning a step toward the big goal of the future of this project. Bionic Arm Project’s introduction is developed AI sign language and will gather over ten thousand ASL content videos in the library asset. Those will help Bionic Arm Project AI can be acquired to read ASL movement from the English ASL, Classifier, and Visual Vernacular tools. It will convert to a 3D model arm with an appearance mode on the website. The project aims to publish an all-ages audience who will use the interactive model website and feel more fun playing, growing their knowledge of sign language in the deaf culture.
