Using Kinect in teaching children with hearing and visual impairment

Abstract

In developed societies, training of disabled people is regarded important and there are different plans for teaching them since childhood. One of the most common types of disability, which are genetically prevalent, is sensory disability particularly visual impairment, hearing and speech impairment. In this paper, attempt was made to present a strategy for training these children in two deaf children and blind children educational sections considering different advances of e-learning using motion detection technologies in Kinect device and objects recognition methods in 3D environments so that even very young children are able to receive basic and effective training and communicate with the surrounding world without knowing sign language or reading and writing skills.
