Study of Spatial Configurations of Equipment for Online Sign Interpretation
Kaoru Nakazono (NTT Labs.), Saori Tanaka (MID) HIP2007-144
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This paper discusses the design of configurations of videophone equipment aimed at online sign interpretation.
Situations that occur in interpretation service were classified into three types: on-site interpretation, partial online interpretation, and full online interpretation.
For each situation, the spatial configurations of the equipments are proposed keeping the issue of non-verbal signals in our minds.
Simulation experiments of sign interpretation were performed using these configurations and the qualities of the configurations were assessed.
The preferred configurations had the common characteristics that the hearing subject could see the face of his/her primary conversation partner, that is, the deaf subject.
The results imply that hearing people who do not understand sign language utilize non-verbal signals for the progression of interpreter-mediated conversation.
