摘要

了解到人聽到音樂而隨音樂起舞是一件很享受的事情，然而聽力障礙者因為無法聽清楚音樂節奏而喪失跳舞時對音樂的律動。為了能夠輔助聽力障礙者跳舞，我們設計了一個DanceVib系統，這個系統有三個部分組成，一個是BeatRoot，一個是Vibrator，另一個是PC播放模組。這個系統是基於詢問幾位聽力障礙者，他們是如何感受到音樂而跳舞的？並且得到他們的回應而設計的。實驗之後，評估方式使用正式問卷方式、加速度計分析和現場實驗錄影，目前針對35位受測者在主觀(正式問卷)得到4~5分的高分，在客觀(錄影後，請人打分數)分析得到，戴系統所設計的Vibrator輔助受測者的跳舞節拍。在客觀和主觀的數據上，都得到正面的回應。

We realize that it is enjoyable to hear and dance with music. However, since the deaf cannot hear music clearly, they loss the rhythms of music. In order to assist the deaf with dance, we develop a system named DanceVib. The system has three main components – BeatRoot,Vibrator and PC display module. It is developed based on asking several deaf people about how they feel the tempo and dance with music. After feedback received from them, we developed an initial system. A formal user study, accelerometer analysis and video record are used in evaluation after experiment. Currently, we have an experiment on 35 subjects. The result of their subjective method (formal questionnaire) got 4~5 points; on the other hand, the analysis of objective method (video record graded by people) was that Vibrator help subjects for improving dancing with the tempo. Thus, we use subjective and objective method for evaluation, we all obtained positive feedback from them.
