Puppet Theater System for Normal-Hearing and Hearing-Impaired People

摘要

We are developing Puppet Theater system which enables both the hearing impaired and the normal hearing to enjoy a puppet show. This system projects puppet's lines in balloon on the background. In addition, the system has a function that presents branches of the story to audience and allows them to select. We performed the system to elementary school pupils with hearing impairment and found that the pupils enjoyed it. Effects of the function were investigated with questionnaire. This paper describes the function and the result of questionnaire.
