Abstract:
|
One of the logistical issues Deaf and hard-of-hearing students face is the need to divide their attention between the visual and the visually-delivered-verbal components of a classroom presentation. Head mounted displays provide a technology that allows for a new and promising approach for delivering the verbal portion. Here we present some preliminary results regarding the usefulness of this approach in providing an ASL narration in the visually challenging environment of a planetarium.
