This significant infusion of funding will help to catalyse Karaās innovative avatar technology, paving the way for the creation of an accessible and user-friendly sign language program, specifically designed to seamlessly integrate with emergency broadcast messages across the vast expanse of Australia. What makes this initiative even more remarkable is its potential to transcend borders, as Karaās technology promises to render these vital messages comprehensible in any sign language worldwide.
