Outline of Final Research Achievements

We developed a learning support system that uses both sign language learning content using web camera and reference type teaching material using tablet PC. This is a system that allows you to instantly switch between the original image (normal image) and mirror image so that you can learn both sign language reading and sign language, you can record and reproduce the sign language image that you did with the web camera . We developed this system and verified its effect.
However, from this hearing at the support school, this system proved that students (Deaf people) who learn communication from Kude Speech do not need to learn sign language with this teaching material. Meanwhile, it was suggested that it could be effective in the introduction part of the first scholar's sign language learning through a survey targeting university students.
