CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS FREE ACCESSNormal hearing people who study signed language that deaf people use in a everyday communication are increasing in number due to the recognition of social. In this paper, we make experiments to collect data for the effect of slow playback of signing motion on language perception. We consider certain conditions on playback speed, and picture quality. The subjects are students who learns signed language for some years, and do not have any experience in learning it. The results show useful effect of slow playback in perception of signed language expressions (sign words).View full abstractDownload PDF (941K) -

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS FREE ACCESSRecently, a mobile phone with a videophone function has been put on sale. This kind of mobile phones will be used for signed language distant conversation. The use situation causes certain restriction on signing, because a user has to use one hand to hold the mobile videophone. Deaf people cope with the similar situation in every day life. In this report, we make two experiments : one-handed signing expression experiment in which a signer is asked to express with the use of only one hand (skillful hand) ; and perception experiment that measures how well a receiver can understand one-handed signing expressions. The results show the possibility of one-handed signed language communication. We also show certain issues to be considered in developing mobile videophones for signed language conversation.View full abstractDownload PDF (744K) -

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS FREE ACCESSA sign language interpreter in hall is often located from a speaker forward. As a result, it is difficult for a sign language interpreter to confirm information that speaker's appearance and speaker present. We are conducting experiments of support system for sign language interpreters in hall. In this paper, we describe our experimental system and experimental results. Results from the questionnaire show that it is effective to present the visual information of the lecture to sign language interpreters.View full abstractDownload PDF (1064K) -

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS FREE ACCESSMobile phones which can access the Internet have spread widely, and many people enjoy its convenience. However, it is almost impossible for deaf-blind people to use such mobile phones. So, we've developed braille PDA for mobile phones to assist the communication of deaf-blind people. This braille PDA can send short mail and Internet mail via mobile phones, and receive them as well.View full abstractDownload PDF (943K) -

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS FREE ACCESSWe examined the asymmetric responses between the detection of motion toward and away from the observer with expanding/contracting shaded circles. Our experiment followed visual search paradigm. In our experiment, targets and distractors were defined by expanding (or contracting) convex/concave circles. Expanding or contracting convex circles can be perceived as spheres moving in depth. However, Expanding or contracting concave circles cannot be perceived as objects moving in depth. Results suggested that the human visual system is more sensitive to expanding convex circles (which create the impression of approaching objects) than others.View full abstractDownload PDF (938K) -

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS FREE ACCESSWe have developed an always-on communications system for long-term-hospitalized children and for elderly people living on their own. Through its three-dimensional cyberspace and video-conference facilities, this system provides an integrated communications environment for children and elderly people. This paper is a report on this always-on communications system and on experiments carried out to evaluate communications space it provides. In concrete terms, we compared "face-to-face" communication by long-term-hospitalized children via avatars with the following two kinds of appearance : (1) a composite of a human figure and video images of the user ; and (2) an imaginary character. The result of the experiment suggested certain effects of the avatar's appearance on communications mediated by the system.View full abstractDownload PDF (1232K) -
