| dc.description.abstract | As Information and Communication Technology (ICT) matures, communication services
must be improved to meet the needs of all types of users. For some uses, current Video over
Internet Protocol (IP) brings unsatisfactory and even unrecognisable quality of video
sequences. Such communication does not always meet the needs of Deaf 1 people.
Asynchronous video messaging, such as EyeJot (www.eyejot.com), offers Deaf people the
ability to send and receive video messages like email. Unfortunately, communicating like this
incurs much delay, resulting in slow response. Even though text messaging is popular among
Deaf people via cellphone or Internet, but they would prefer to use sign language for
communication. Video Relay Service (VRS) attempts to help Deaf users communicate with
hearing people in sign language. VRS provides synchronous video and voice services to
enable those who use sign language to communicate with hearing people through a relay
interpreter across the world via the Internet. | en_US |
