Abstract(in English) Recently it has become possible for users in remote locations to communicate via sign language using video phones and video conferencing systems. In actually attempting visual communication for the hearing impaired, however, critical problems remain besides the issue of video quality, refresh rate. In this paper, we describe our experimental system for the remote sign language interpretation services and experimental results on conversation. Results from the questionnaire show that the sub window is effective for the remote sign language interpreting.
