    This study aims to develop signed laguage generation method for VoD (Video on Demand) services in ISDN communication systems so that deaf people can access to information with the mediunm of signed language. This study makes perception experiment and compares several motion pictures with various conditions : (1) sign and non-sign motion pictures. (2) editing and non-editing (natural) pictures. (3) CIF with 128kb/s and 64kb/s, QCIF with 128kb/s and 64kb/s, and NTSC pictures. Experimental results by ten hearing subjects show : (1) In the case of the signed language pictures temporal resolution shows the significant effect on both the intelligibility and comfortability. But it is not significant for no-sign pictures. (2) In the case of signing pictures, the statistical test shows the significant effect of editing condition on the understandability.

    By using a personal digital assistant (PDA) as the control unit of communication aid and environment controller, several advantages are available. Its small size facilitates easy mounting. Portability allows the same user interface at any place. Quick start-up brings battery operation. To make good use of these advantages, functions should be shared among the PDA and existing devices. Using a developed prototype, a call bell, TV remotes, a power assisted bed, a simple communication aid, PCs and telephones are controlled with single key operation.

    This paper describes the result of the survey on both acceptance of soundinformation by hearing impaired persons and accommodation of hotels forthem. Questionnaires on the first issue were sent to 330 persons who were hard of hearing, and 105 of them were returned. On the other hand, questionnaires on the second issue were sent to 400 hotels, and 172 of them were returned. The result from the first survey indicates that persons with hard of hearing strongly strictly need to accept sound information from their environment, such as activation sound from electric appliances, sound on emergency situation and so on. The result from the second survey indicates that accommodation of hotels for persons with hard of hearing is not sufficiently provided by both technical and financial problems.

    This paper describes a selection method of music suitable for motion pictures. We make an inquiry about human feelings when persons listen to musics and watch motion pictures, respectively. Then, a human feeling correlation value between music and picture is calculated, based on a proposal equation in this paper. The selected musics have been quite suitable for motion pictures by listener's questionnaires, except for a few kinds of motion pictures. The excepted motion pictures are natural scene pictures with strong motion, such as "Falls".

    A method for generating an endless virtual moving image (VMI) using a given number of sample pictures obtained from a real moving image is described in this paper. Since the image can be controlled by voices, a kind of communication is possible between a man and the VMI. Examples of the VMI comprising plural scenes are also illustrated.

    CCTV is one of the useful assistive technologies for people with low vision. However, the state of CCTV use has not been well known in Japan. In order to clarify the use of CCTVs and demand factors for future improvements, we conducted a CCTV user survey with a questionnaire. By analyzing the survey results, some user demands are extracted. We prototyped a CCTV based on the survey and evaluated it.

    Some blind children have difficulty in simple locomotion, and need orientation and mobility (O&M) training. We developed a computer assisted instruction (CAI) system which helps to acquire abilities of orientation and mobility. A user realizes a task given by a tactile map and synthesized speech. He or she walks around a room according to a task. The system gives the gap of walk path from its target path via auditory feedback to a walking user, and via both auditory and tactile feedback after the end of a task. Then a user can understand how well he or she walked and will learn how to walk just as he or she intends. We describe the detail of the proposed system and task.

    It continued for the key input carried out in the former year, it was examined the form of the input due to breathing pressure to support input of data by the physically disabled person. The input movement character corresponding to the kind of the difficulty was observed, and the characteristics of the distribution of breathing pressure and the time transition were analyzed from the experiment data. Breathing pressure, a scanning speed and breathing input continuation time are obtained as a good discrimination parameter element as a input of breathing. It was analyzed the distribution conditions of the input breathing pressure data that was measured in every kind of difficulty. Then, how to calculate a discrimination parameter was examined, and several discrimination parameters were calculated.

    There is no suitable instrument on the common market for the heavy disabled persons to enter data onto a computer. Each disabled person has individual features to handle the materials. We are studying a comprehensive mechanism to enter data onto a computer means of a keyboard. This paper describes the discriminant which controls each disabled person's characteristics as to enter data onto a computer, and also the characteristics of (1) a person whose muscles are weak, (2) a person with involuntary behavior of the muscles, and/or a person with high tension of the muscles, (3) a person who enterData onto a computer by a stick held between teeth.
