| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We evaluated the safety and visibility of a transmission-type head-mounted display (HMD) device used as a display medium for visualizing sound while walking. In outdoor walking evaluation tests, the HMD was safely used by approximately half of the subjects when information was provided within the safety response index of 0.7-1 s, which is considered a safe response time during outdoor walking. This implies that half of the subjects would require some form of training to use the device safely. Additionally, tests for rearward visibility, typically a blind spot for individuals with hearing impairments, indicated that information displayed while walking was not presented within the safe reaction speed. Using the results of these tests, we developed a HMD device for differentiating sound that can be used while walking outdoors.
