Interactive sign singing and embodied song for the deaf and hard of hearing using hologram technology
| Resumo: | This study investigates the impact of hologram singing technology on the experiences of the deaf and hard of hearing. The research aims to evaluate how effectively this technology enhances understanding and interaction with musical content by integrating sign language into holographic performances. An experimental approach was employed, involving a diverse sample of deaf individuals divided into two groups: one exposed to hologram technology and another that was not. Results indicated that participants utilizing holograms demonstrated a better understanding of songs and engaged more actively with the artistic performance. The study recommends expanding the use of hologram technology in arts and music to promote inclusivity and emphasizes the necessity for developing software that improves the accuracy of converting audio signals into embodied movements. Furthermore, fostering collaboration between artists and developers is crucial for broadening future applications of this technology, ultimately enhancing the cultural quality of life for the targeted groups. |
