Outline of Final Research Achievements

Deaf student in post secondary education stage is expected to increase. To support them, we construct study support system using personal display like head mounted display.
Personal display will offer chances to customize images adapted to their own impairment.Using battery-powered equipment and wireless network, the system is easy to deploy and withdraw. This means the system is useful even in such a small lecture.As a result, we built learning support system for deaf students at university.
