Abstract

The study will build a database that can serve as the basis for common use and discussion by researchers by addressing research tasks. We will discuss the best source format, spatio-temporal resolution, format of data files, and storing method for academic fields such as linguistics and engineering. We are now considering the introduction of the 3-D motion data, multi-view images, and depth images. As for the 3D motion data, we will use the optical motion-capture technology, which has world-leading precision. The outcomes of this study have the potential to significantly contribute to improved quality of life for the hearing impaired, for instance by establishing a new guarantee of information accessibility for those who use sign language as their primary language.
