Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this research is to realize a system that performs natural perceptual substitution to realize information guarantee for people with hearing impairment. In this research, we have realized a real world captioning system that presents subtitles by watching face-to-face dialogue by adding microphone and subtitle presentation application that can handle directionality to a see-through head mounted display (HMD) .
Since ordinary HMD has a limit on the number of microphone input terminals, we developed a microphone array that can handle the beam pattern even with single channel input and developed a signal processing technique for that. For the captioning, we automatically detected the speaker and constructed an AR system that can see conversation information like a speech balloon from the face.
