| Research Abstract |
We conducted a basic study on live action 3D video-imaging to improve remote-communication and legibility of sign language. We proposed a method that enables to take, transmit and display a real time live 3D video of sign language by using a color image and a depth image. Using an experimental system with the method, we performed comparison experiments between conventional 2D to live 3D video. The experimental results showed that live 3D video improves legibility of sign language and reduce errors in reading finger spelling.
