Success stories Rizky Ario Nugroho, founder of Dreambender, won the Young Innovators Competition 2012 for his project “Isara”. Isara is a sign language open dictionary and learning system, dedicated to deaf people and their families. It provides interactive, real-time, and attractive learning through the usage of Kinect as motion sensor. As an open dictionary, Isara accommodates the archiving and development of sign languages of any dialects globally. Isara won several National and International Competitions and received about $200,000 seed capital for its development and implementation in Indonesia. Isara is transforming itself to become a Deaf Information Centre, so that in the future it will not only contain a dictionary, but also other useful content for the deaf community such as news, entertainment and educational content in sign language.
