VIDI Sign Space Corpus
The Vidi Sign Space Corpus is a corpus of DGSGerman Sign Language and TİDTurkish Sign Language data collected by the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics under the lead of Asli Özyürek from March 2007 to September 2012.
The signers were recorded in pairs in a studio sitting at a table. Three Sony DV cameras were used, one per signer and one for a top view.
