Abstract
In certain embodiments, nuance-based augmentation of gesture may be facilitated. In some embodiments, a video stream depicting sign language gestures of an individual may be obtained via a wearable device associated with a user. A textual translation of the sign language gestures in the video stream may be determined. Emphasis information related to the sign language gestures may be identified based on an intensity of the sign language gestures. One or more display characteristics may be determined based on the emphasis information. The textual translation may be caused to be displayed to the user via the wearable device according to the one or more display characteristics. In some embodiments, a unique voice profile for the individual may be determined. A spoken translation of the sign language gestures may be generated according to the textual translation, the unique voice profile, and the emphasis information.
