Abstract

The aim of this paper is to examine the effects of JSL (Japanese Sign Language) animation for hearing-impaired people in stomach X-ray inspection, and to improve the system. Evaluation tests were carried out on JSL animation improved based upon referring to the movement of a signer. Results showed that the improved animation has obtained very high ratio in comprehensibility and some important factors for designing JSL animation were indicated to develop the sign animation.
