The Project  uses and extends state-of-the art technologies to create a world in which Deaf children and adults are able to learn, collaborate and communicate effectively with hearing people on an equal basis.

We hope that, through IT, a world will be opened up where deafness is no barrier to communication, accessing information, learning or making a contribution to society.

myHe@ring Exchange provides web-based resources for the Deaf community in Malaysia. These resources fall under three inter-related categories:

• Knowledge Centre: provides basic and advanced information related to deafness.

• Services: provides support for community interaction and knowledge sharing, access to specialist services (eg. therapists) and Deaf persons' entrepreneurial development.

• eLearning: provides interactive learning aids and rich, interactive media content supporting self, group, and facilitator-assisted learning.

myHe@ring Exchange provides a supportive community for people with hearing loss, parents of deaf and hard of hearing children and professionals who work with them. It provides an open forum for the discussion of ideas and information on hearing loss and related issues. The comprehensive site includes current news, articles, resource, forums, chats, news and much more. All communicate methods and choices should be respected within all areas of Myhe@ring Exchange.

One aspect of the Project is on the use of “Virtual Signing with Animation”. Written language competence of many Deaf people is generally poor, and human interpreters are regularly used to support communication with the Deaf. Often, it is not feasible to to gain access to such services. Human interpreters are expensive and scarce; and signing videos must be well-produced and download times on the Internet are often prohibitive.
