ABSTRACT
This paper explores the potential of augmented reality technology as a novel way to allow users to view a sign language interpreter through an optical head-mounted display while watching a TV programme. We address the potential of augmented reality for personalisation of TV access services as part of closed laboratory investigations. Based on guidelines of regulatory authorities and research on traditional sign language services on TV, as well as feedback from experts, we justify our two design proposals. We describe how we produced the content for the AR prototype applications and what we have learned during the process. Finally, we develop questions for our upcoming user studies.
