Deaf people have difficulty communicating due to the lack of mastery
of Libras (Brazilian sign language for deaf citizens). New systems
have emerged to support the communication of people with
hearing disabilities with regard to: simultaneous translation, teaching
of Libras and presentation of animations. However, these systems
do not have ready-made phrases or support for emergency
situations. Considering this scenario, this article presents the proposal
of the Communication Assistant to the Deaf (AComS), which
aims to support the communication of people with hearing loss,
complementing the features already presented by existing systems
such as VLibras, HandTalk and MIDOAA. After the application of
requirements gathering techniques such as document analysis and
benchmarking, a high-fidelity prototype of the system was proposed,
which presents the various features of AComS in its mobile
version.
