Evaluation of the Dialogue Information Function of Interactive Puppet Theater: A Puppet-Show System for Deaf Children

摘要

We have developed Interactive Puppet Theater, a puppet-show system designed for use by deaf children. For this study, we conducted evaluation experiments to determine whether Interactive Puppet Theater helps these children to have an enriched viewing experience. The evaluation results showed that Interactive Puppet Theater could be an effective way to ensure that deaf children understand the characters' dialogue as they watch the puppet-show, and that it enables them to have an enjoyable viewing experience.
