Gesture Lab’s new map explores the world of sign languages

The new Interactive World Map on display in the lobby of the Kellogg Conference Hotel invites you to use your hands. With one tap, the familiar outline of continents fills with about 30 bubbles, each containing a deaf person signing the word “all” in their native language. A man in Sri Lanka clasps his hands together, while a woman in Bulgaria wiggles her pointer finger, and a man in Uganda crosses one arm across his chest. In a matter of seconds, it showcases the incredible diversity of signs around the globe. And it can keep you busy for hours, as you scroll through the list of 100 words.
