Designing Digital Solutions for Preserving Penan Sign Language: A Reflective Study

Oroo’ is a language of nomadic Penans in the rainforests of Borneo and the only way of asynchronous communication between nomadic groups in the forest journey. Like many other indigenous languages, the Oroo’ language is also facing imminent extinction. In this paper,we present the research process...
