During a quiet yet spirited discussion in an office of a startup in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality, a hearing-impaired entrepreneur named Tian Ye and his team are ideating strategies to help the hearing-impaired community better appreciate cultural artefacts.
Tian's company, Chongqing Yuermeng Technology Co., Ltd., has developed a platform for sharing the culture of and knowledge about the hearing-impaired community, as well as a sign language dictionary.
The company offers 8,000 educational sign language videos and has introduced a barrier-free sign language guide system for public venues. This system is already being used in nine museums in Chongqing, benefiting more than 10 million people.
