Abstract

Learning how to read for deaf and hard-of-hearing children poses a few challenges that have been explored over the years by various researchers [13]. We propose an innovative solution that may enhance the way deaf and hard-of-hearing children learn to read through the use of a head-mounted-display (HMD). Through the HMD, deaf and hard-of-hearing children will be able look up unfamilar printed words from a varity of sources and have an American Sign Language (ASL) video definition play back for them.
