What you look like when learning hand alphabets

Published: 15 June 2005 Publication History

Abstract

When ordinary people learn hand languages, it is critical to properly understand that the forms of the hand shapes and moves are different for speakers and listeners. To cope with the issue, we have equipped a PC camera with the visual interface of an edutainment system for Japanese hand alphabets. To investigate the visual interface, we have conducted experiments with/without the camera device to measure the eye movement when subjects use the interface The experimental results have shown the effectiveness of the how-you-look-smart interface with a PC camera.
