Video input for conversation with sing language, video i/o device for conversation with sign language, and sign language interpretation system

摘要

A videophone sign language conversation assistance device includes a target imaging camera for imaging a target other than a sign language, a sign language imaging camera for imaging the sign language of a deaf-mute person, a waist fixing device for fixing the sign language imaging camera at the waist of the deaf-mute person, a video synthesizer for synthesizing the videos of the cameras, and a videophone connection device for supplying the synthesized video to a videophone terminal. The device further includes a display device for displaying the sign language and a fixing device for fixing the display device in front of the eyes of the deaf-mute person, such that the sign language video being received at the video telephone terminal is supplied to the display device. A sign language interpretation system provides a sign language interpretation service which can be used when a deaf-mute person converses with a non-deaf-mute person by using the above-described device.
