The chatbot will also translate all MRT announcements into sign language.
Public transport users can type their queries or speak out at the kiosk, and SiLViA will provide real-time answers in both text and sign language.
Silvia is trained to answer questions most frequently asked by commuters, such as where the nearest bus stop is.“It’s just like ChatGPT... if ChatGPT had the capacity for sign language as well,” said FingerDance co-founder Gong He. The programme was open for applications at the start of 2024, and the start-ups were chosen based on team dynamics, uniqueness of the solution, potential depth and breadth of social impact in Singapore, potential for international scaling, and sustainability of business model.
The programme will also have a structured curriculum and a development plan tailored to the needs of each start-up.
