Building a Real-Time Sign Language Detector with TensorFlow.js and React

TLDRIn this video, we will build a real-time sign language detector using TensorFlow.js and React. We will cover a range of topics, including converting a pre-trained TensorFlow model into a TF.js friendly format, hosting the model on cloud storage, using a pre-built computer vision template, making real-time detections with our webcam, and visualizing the detections on screen. This tutorial can be easily applied to other use cases, such as stop sign detection or microscope detection.
