Development of an Interactive Communication Training System Using Interactive Media

Objectif

DICTUM will develop an interactive system which will allow hearing-impaired users to independently train their communicative hearing functions and Sign Language skills in their home environment.

Improving the possibilities for the social, economic and educational integration of hearing and hearing-impaired persons is the intrinsic objective of the project. It is felt that the way to reach this goal will be to create a flexible training system that will help improve communication skills of both hearing-impaired persons as well as hearing people. At present there is no tool with which people can individually and independently train (aspects of) communication skills. Therefore this project aims at the technological development of an interactive communication training platform with which communication possibilities for the hearing-impaired people in Europe can be improved, and which can be used in the home environment as a supplement to clinical training sessions and sign language courses. This interactive training tool should be easy to use, preferably be self-explanatory, and should be designed such that clients can use it independently. The ultimate goal is to develop a prototype system that can be transferred onto compact disc interactive (CD-i). Innovative rehabilitation aspects are: realising a home-based, user-friendly and cost-effective training system, extending aural rehabilitation (i.e. hearing aid fitting) with training, and integrating speech and Sign Language training in one system.

Technical Approach : Software will be developed in such a way that it will allow independent and individual training. The system will be modular, (having a microworld as a general basis), each module addressing a different communication aspect or addressing the same aspect in different ways. The training tool will also be language independent, to guarantee a widespread use throughout the European Union. This will be realised by designing the system in such a way that different European languages are considered as data; the user can determine which language (most likely his mothertongue) he would like to practice. The system will initially be developed on a PC platform which makes rapid prototyping possible. Technical innovation aspects include: developing the conversion process from a flexible PC-platform to CD-i endproduct. During the course of the project other environments/carriers in addition to CD-i will be studied.

Impact and Expected Results: The incorporation of more than one language will set a standard for future interactive software technology for multilingual applications. Despite all technical innovations still in progress, the use of CD-i technology will ensure that the future product will conform to the appropriate international standards, which will make widespread dissemination through the European Union possible. Full motion video on CD-i has recently been accepted as the basis for future international standards.
