Abstract

Meetings comprise a vital part of participation in social activities. For a deaf or hard of hearing person who does not understand spoken language, following meetings can become confusing if there are too many simultaneous sources of information. When the person focuses on one source of information, she misses information from another source; for example, while looking at a presenter's slides, the person misses information from the signing interpreter. The features of Facetop Tablet were iteratively designed according to feedback from members of the Deaf community. Through this feedback, we have refined and completed the implementation and it is ready for evaluation through user studies. We are ready to recruit participants whom we could reach through demonstrations.
