Abstract
During the Summer of 2012 we were able to conduct preliminary tests of HMD’s with deaf children ages 7-‐17. Many of these were volunteers from EFY. Each subject watched a prepared video segment on the Earth, Sun and Moon, from Evans & Sutherland. They were accompanied by a translator, and ASL fluent facilitators and tech specialists. After these sessions were completed the subjects participated in a group discussion. We gained good insight and positive feedback. Once these sessions were finished I helped develop the coding system we would use in evaluating the videos, and analyzed the results.
