Title
Dialog Support for Deafblind Persons by Conveying Backchannels through Vibration
Abstract
We conducted an experiment using vibration system, by which a deafblind participant, communicating through an interpreter, could directly receive back-channel feedback from a conversational partner. Statistical analysis of the interaction structure showed that the back-channel vibration increased his turn-taking and interactivity of communication. And, from a qualitative analysis of video data, we found that the experience of receiving back-channel feedback caused a change in his haptic behavior in usual communication. Our results indicate that low mental workload and learnability of this vibration system allow deaf-blind persons to improve their communication.
