- It contains 600 ASL clips (150 unique phrases) signed by four Deaf signers in a fully parallel structure.
- Data includes extracted keypoints (hands, body, eyes, mouth, head silhouette) and gloss annotations.
- A benchmark shows training on multiple signers improves generalization to new signers.
- Keypoints are in MediaPipe image-normalized space with 128 landmarks per frame.
- The dataset is released under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, with commercial licensing available.
- Intended for research and educational use, not for surveillance or biometric applications.
