We have developed learning support application of Japanese sign language using stand-alone HMD with
hand-tracking function. The application is based on a unique hand-shape recognition algorithm. Regarding the application program, we have conducted subjective evaluation regarding to the understandability of the
VR-learning system. In addition, we have compared the learners’ favorability among three teaching materials
(VR-system, textbooks, videos) regarding sign language learning items.
