Abstract

We present a design for an interactive American Sign Language game geared for language development for deaf children. In addition to work on game design, we show how Wizard of Oz techniques can be used to facilitate our work on ASL recognition. We report on two Wizard of Oz studies which demonstrate our technique and maximize our iterative design process. We also detail specific implications to the design raised from working with deaf children and possible solutions.
