Hawa Mohd Ekhsan1, Mohamad Daniel Muhamad Khairi2, Jiwa Noris Hamid3.
Sign language is the communication language used by people with disabilities, especially deaf and hearing impaired people. The communication between normal and disabled people using sign language will help
them carry out their daily activities. Unfortunately, normal people are not aware of the importance of sign
language because they are not directly dealing with disabled persons. Besides, some normal people found
that sign language is difficult to learn. This study focuses on developing a mobile application for sign
language with augmented reality features. This application is targeted at normal people as a sign language
learning tool, and augmented reality will make the learning process effective and exciting. The methodology
for this study is the ADDIE model that consists of five phases, namely Analysis, Design, Development,
Implementation, and Evaluation. This application will assist the users in learning sign language
interactively and interestingly. The evaluation of the application was done by the expert in the related
background and the normal people. The usability test result revealed that the sign language application is
usable for normal people to know and learn the basic sign language. In conclusion, the sign language
application is an interesting application for normal people to use and learn sign language.
