A Full-Body Interaction Game for Children with Hearing Disabilities to Gain the Immersive Experience in a Puppet Show

In this study, we developed a full-body interaction game that assists children with hearing disabilities in experiencing a puppet show by immersing in it. The full-body interaction game presents a type of puppet show that offers opportunities for the audience to interact with the drama. It is designed so that children with hearing disabilities can participate through known communicative movements; it allows children to easily grasp how their movements affect the progress of the story. The experiment results indicate that participating children enjoy the interaction game, and that the system allows the world of the story in the puppet show seem more real.
