For future TED Talks led by Deaf presenters, I would suggest making the entirety of the video from the perspective of one camera man. It was very distracting to the Deaf eye to have different angles and pans, especially considering half of the poem was shown from the presenters back-side, leaving the virtual audience out from the poem! :)
I agree had vary had time fooling on my small 12 inch computer screen. Thanks for comment Jacob!
I don't understand why I see this mistake over and over again: I'm hearing, but it took me 3 seconds the first time I saw a talk with a deaf person to realize that wasn't ok for anyone who wanted to follow the signing. Imagine a hearing speaker, and having the sound of their voice constantly moved from left to right, pushed far away with echoes, then super close and loud, then barely audible and muffled: how is it possible that whoever produced this video didn't realize it?
And this falls precisely in a definition of accessibility that I heard from Christine Sun Kim: feeling comfortable, not needing to ask for special things or treatments, because whoever created the communication already thought about it and took care of these aspects.
Incredibly frustrating.
Hi
Next time you invite a D/deaf speaker try to focus on the speaker only. Make speaker bigger and audience screen on the corner that way we can see speaker sign clear.
That interpreter was on point!
Usually the Deaf will have a script for the interpreter, and they will prepare beforehand.
Regardless of having a script, the Interpreter was Excellent! Yes, the interpreter understood where the discourse was going however, interpreters do not memorize the script- He was fantastic! Kuddos to the interpreter!!
Real captions please!!! Auto captions have no punctuation and some errors, so its hard for Deaf and Hard of Hearing users who don't sign and second language learners.
It is now captioned.
This is incredible. The musical collaboration was so beautiful.
LOVELY presentation, and thank you.
Hey
So if he's from Italy, but the event was in Vienna, was he signing in Italian or in Austrian?
Douglas was signing in American because he's from America (New York City), but I have no idea why he had his talk in another country.
This is ASL
How do you have 15mil. Subs but so low views?
People might think this ted is for deaf people only
Nice
what if someone clipped his uninterpreted poem and people just saw it out of context? it'd look like TEDx turned into a dance competition except that it has legitimate linguistic value in it for ASL speakers.
Champ!
