Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research was, from the standpoint of universal design, to create an exhibition support design in science museums for hearing impaired people and to develop and evaluate an exhibition support system based on this design. The system that was developed uses lasers to provide augmented reality. An experimental trial of the system in a science museum using healthy participants confirmed its effectiveness at improving the exhibition, such as by stimulating interest in and promoting better understanding of the exhibits. The trial provided empirical data that will be useful in practically launching the system in the future.
