Baby BSL is a high-quality AR storybook that uses a combination of smartphones, printed and kinaesthetic products to teach British Sign Language (BSL) to hearing parents of pre-verbal deaf or hearing children (e.g., under 3). By combining AR, MR (video and audio) with print and textiles, Baby BSL uses simple narratives to create an interactive illustrated children's pop-up story book and communications aid. There is currently a lack of accessible and consistent 'baby sign language' in the UK as the teaching assets for British Sign Language (BSL) underperform compared to those for American Sign Language (ASL). Baby BSL inspires and empowers hearing parents to learn to sign at home and encourages greater BSL uptake in nurseries. It's a playfully immersive interface that combines existing smartphone technology with familiar objects and everyday scenarios, e.g, a walk in the park. Baby BSL encourages families to copy and learn useful signs as a foundation for communication. Associated merchandise includes books, cards, comforters, games and augmented clothes.This first phase of the project is Industrial Research concluding with a suite of demonstrative prototypes. A team comprising two creative design businesses specialising in print and VR, an academic and an innovation studio will inform the phases of our human-centered study comprising market research, design & prototyping, user-testing and evaluation. The results of analysis will be used to create a range of quick fire prototypes for commercially viable products. Prototypes will be tested in a series of human-centered workshops with parents and pre-schoolers. Results from user-testing will be logged and evaluated and used to inform design iterations tested with deaf and hearing families. To conclude, a final suite of designs together with series of recommendations for future development will be created and will form the basis of a larger study to develop a viable business case and series of scalable designs for a commercially viable product in 2019.

Baby BSL 是一本高质量的 AR 故事书，结合了智能手机、印刷品和动觉产品，向语言前聋哑人或听力正常儿童（例如 3 岁以下）的听力正常的父母教授英国手语 (BSL)。通过将 AR、MR（视频和音频）与印刷品和纺织品相结合，Baby BSL 使用简单的叙述来创建交互式插图儿童立体故事书和交流辅助工具。目前，英国缺乏易于使用且一致的“婴儿手语”，因为英国手语 (BSL) 的教学资产与美国手语 (ASL) 的教学资产相比表现不佳。 Baby BSL 激励听力正常的父母在家中学习手语，并鼓励他们在托儿所中更多地采用 BSL。这是一个有趣的沉浸式界面，将现有的智能手机技术与熟悉的物体和日常场景（例如在公园散步）结合起来。 Baby BSL 鼓励家人模仿和学习有用的手势作为沟通的基础。相关商品包括书籍、卡片、被子、游戏和增强服装。该项目的第一阶段是工业研究，并以一套演示原型结束。由两个专门从事印刷和虚拟现实的创意设计公司、一个学术工作室和一个创新工作室组成的团队将为我们以人为本的研究的各个阶段提供信息，包括市场研究、设计和原型、用户测试和评估。分析结果将用于为商业上可行的产品创建一系列快速原型。原型将在一系列以人为本的研讨会上与家长和学龄前儿童进行测试。用户测试的结果将被记录和评估，并用于为聋人和听力正常家庭测试的设计迭代提供信息。总而言之，将创建一套最终设计以及一系列针对未来开发的建议，并将构成更大规模研究的基础，以在 2019 年为商业上可行的产品开发可行的业务案例和一系列可扩展的设计。
