Modeling and Generating Sign Language as Animated Line Drawings

Frank Godenschweger, Thomas Strothotte (1998) — Proceedings of the Third International ACM Conference on Assistive Technologies (Assets '98)

This paper from Otto-von-Guericke University of Magdeburg introduces a system for generating sign language as animated line drawings rather than photorealistic 3D renderings. The authors argue that the prevailing approach of creating increasingly rea…
Dual Level Intraframe Coding for Increased Video Telecommunication Bandwidth

David M. Saxe, Richard A. Foulds, Arthur W. Joyce (1998) — Proceedings of the Third International ACM Conference on Assistive Technologies (Assets '98)

This paper from the Applied Science and Engineering Laboratories at the University of Delaware presents a dual-level video compression approach designed to make sign language transmission viable over bandwidth-limited telephone networks. The authors …
"Wear It Loud": How and Why Hearing Aid and Cochlear Implant Users Customize Their Devices

Halley P. Profita, Abigale Stangl, Laura Matuszewska, Sigrunn Sky, Raja Kushalnagar, Shaun K. Kane (2018) — ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing (TACCESS)

This paper investigates why and how hearing aid and cochlear implant users aesthetically customize their devices, exploring the intersection of assistive technology, identity, and social acceptability. The research addresses a significant problem: he…
