Conference Paper
The Deaf have been denied their natural language for over a hundred years, with dire consequences for their health, citizenship and culture. Sign Language is the natural language of the Deaf, used for intellectual development and other human traits that are language related. Writing Systems (sequence of characters to represent a language) store and...
Conference Paper
The Deaf use Sign Language for intellectual development, communication and other language dependent tasks, including the learning of the oral language in which they are immersed. However, Deaf children should no longer be expected to access academic learning using the oral language [1][4][6]. Rather they need to have access to a writing system in/f...

There is a lack of adequate support for the Deaf culture, and few researches to inform designers on how to build computational tools to promote inclusion and citizenship for the Deaf. Deaf culture is an expression applied to the social movement that holds deafness to be a difference in human experience – which includes the right to use their natura...

The Deaf community has its own culture, a term applied to the social movement that holds Deafness to be a difference in human experience, rather than a disability. The disability view of Deafness has deprived the Deaf of natu- ral language acquisition, which is crucial for intellectual development. Human- Computer Interaction should be held account...

Members of the Deaf communities have been excluded for several years. There is a need for computational tools that take into account their peculiarities so that the Deaf may fulfill all their human possibilities. Even the systems that were supposedly designed for the Deaf present several problems (e.g. not in Sign Language (SL)). Communities of Pra...

The lack of usability (the easiness with which the user is able to perform her desired task using a system) may hurt people: a very distressful concept this study refers to is Hurtability. People should not be hurt by the products they buy. And certainly, the users are not the ones responsible for this lack of usability. Information and communicati...

The Deaf community lives in a historical period of affirmation of social rights they have been denied for over at least a century. It is important that Computer Science research be based on the needs and specificities of people, to develop systems that respect and take into account their differences, in order to inform design and to deliver tools t...

Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) is a complete linguistic system the deaf use for their communication, education, literacy needs. Information Systems fail to support such endeavors mostly due to limitations and inadequacies in using sign languages, thus precluding the deaf from social inclusion and citizenship. A computational model to describe the...

Sign Languages are tools the deaf use for their communication, education, information access needs, among others. Information Systems, whose role should be to facilitate those processes, still do not present a natural interaction for the deaf. There are many attempts by Computer Vision researches that are limited in their approach, their wrongly de...

Conference Paper
A Semiotic analysis of pictographic signs used in Brazilian e-commerce sites is presented. This study shows a low mapping between the intended function in the system and the desired goal from the user. A better understanding of the Theory of Sign Production and Semiotic Engineering Methods for sign re-design is recommended.

... Constructive development emphasises relating meaning to the new concepts and connecting them in mental structure [19]. Meaningful learning encourages authentic learning and the application of learned concepts to the real world by providing context and application of concepts right at the beginning [20]- [22]. ...
... With the expansion of social media platforms, the opportunities for DHH people to extend their socialities beyond their immediate social and geographic environment have increased more than ever before. Online platforms and applications such as HandTalk and Prodeaf are particularly attractive to DHH users because they enable sharing of information and connection through vision (Guimarães & Fernandes, 2018). ...
... It was found that the majority were at level 80 of sure, level at which respondents begin to fully agree that the help /tip given by the APP was useful, in addition to anure with the other items. This demonstrates the high level of satisfaction, which establishes intelligibility, learning, operability, attractiveness, and compliance with the (32) usability goals. ...
... Empathy mapping was used also as an assessment tool to highlight the part of the impact of the intervention program based on SENSE-GARDEN, which is not quantifiable through usual assessment tools. Empathy mapping can be used to provide a comprehensive image of the functioning of persons with disabilities, with the direct involvement of these people, in the effort to empower co-creation of assistive and therapy technologies with increased usability [9]. We used the method to provide insight regarding the psycho-social impact of the intervention conducted using SENSE-GARDEN with persons with a major neurocognitive disorder, in terms of the changes noticed by the professional and family caregivers in the behaviour of the primary users of SENSE-GARDEN after the program of interventions. ...
... A more narrowed approach was developed by Guimarães et al. [21] to inform design of learning objects for teaching written Portuguese to deaf children. This framework is specifically created for a particular learning goal (writing) and disability (deafness). ...
... A notation framework for gesture based communication is firmly expected to propel the investigation of its structure. In spite of the fact that further study is expected to make the Sign Writing system less difficult, more justifiable and absolutely all inclusive, the automated translated system is by all accounts ready to add to the improvement of a deaf community and individuals [19]. ...
... The reality is that writing systems for sign languages have been devised, such as Stokoe notation (Stokoe, 1960), Sign Writing (Sutton,1995), HamNoSys (Prillwitz et al.,1989), and Si5S developed by Robert Augustus (Bauman & Murray, 2017;Miller, 2001;McCarty, 2004;Miller, 2001;Karpov, Kipyatkova, & Zelezny, 2016), and are currently being devised (Guimarães, Guardezi, & Fernandes, 2014). However, the complexities of dealing with the multiple spatial and articulatory factors involved yield systems that, so far, are hard to learn and unwieldy enough to make them impractical for daily use. ...
... As one of the Project's tools, we have the CORE-SL SignWriting generator, that converts sign representations to SignWriting [39,40,41]. The project also has a sign register (in the CORE-SL formalism) [38], the morphosyntactic structure of the lexicon [57], a tool for collaborative inclusive meetings [59,60,61], and an authoring tool for building educational games for deaf children [12,13,14]. A tool to support virtual concept map building for deaf education is under development. ...
... Further studies may focus on the uses and effects of colors to consider hearing-disabled individual's visual perception. Bueno, Garcia, and Mendonca (2013) studied colors' effects on the visual perception of hearing-disabled; however, their findings are ambiguous and limited for a conclusion. ...
... Sign language within the deaf community consists of body movements, facial expressions, hand positions, and body posture [46][47][48], which are expressed in three dimensions [49]. They range from individual ad hoc contexts to official, national sign languages [50]. ...
