Virtual emotional gestures to assist in the examination of the mental
health of the deaf-mutes
Abstract
The particular characteristics of deaf-mutes make them more likely to
have mental health problems. Due to their particular way of
communication, it is more difficult for them to deal with mental health
problems than ordinary people. Nowadays, those psychologists who are
good at sign language are in short supply, and remote assistance cannot
achieve satisfactory results. Therefore, a library of virtual emotional
gestures based on electroencephalogram(EEG) was established and a
prototype system for mental health examination of deaf-mutes was
proposed, which help deaf-mutes identify their psychological problems in
time and assist medical staff to examine the psychological problems
encountered by deaf-mutes. In addition, the virtual library of emotional
gestures is established with the assistance of the chief physician from
a 3A hospital in Henan Province. More importantly, the later experiments
demonstrate the applicability of this virtual system.
