Evaluation of interactive puppet theater based on inclusive design methods: a case study of students at elementary school for the deaf

Published: 24 June 2013 Publication History

Abstract

In this study, evaluation experiment was conducted on an interactive puppet theater, a puppetry system designed for deaf children to enhance their enjoyment of performances. An interactive puppet theater has two features: a feature that ensures the transmission of information by textualizing dialogue information and a feature that encourages deaf children to participate in the story by using physical movements. For this study, experiment was conducted to evaluate whether the feature of participation in the story by using physical movements prompts these children to engage with the story setting in a puppet theater viewing experience. The evaluations were also aimed at ascertaining whether this feature could ensure an enjoyable viewing experience. This study targeted deaf children. The results obtained from the experiments revealed that this feature could be an effective way to encourage them to participate in the story setting, and to assist them in having an enjoyable viewing experience.
