People with hearing loss (HL), due to a lack of accessibility, encounter difficulties in the teaching-learning process and social inclusion. Technologies have therefore been developed to help this section of society, in order to make their lives easier and more enjoyable. Among many technologies, Augmented Reality (AR) has been used as an aid to the teaching-learning process, as it increases interaction between deaf students and with the Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS) teaching method. This project aims to create a free educational portal to encourage the study of LIBRAS through AR and thus innovate the teaching method for students with hearing loss. The aim of this article is to demonstrate the portal that uses AR to teach LIBRAS.
