Abstract

This present study deals with the development of a research project that seeks solutions to represent musical elements, for deaf individuals, in audiovisual content. In order to identify the optimal result for musical rhythm (pulse) representation and arrangement structure, ways of representation are suggested, as well as methodology of analysis, application and data collection, the development of artifacts that help the interaction of audiovisual content with deaf people and immersion in audiovisual works. The validation of the hypotheses is done using questionnaires, observation of recorded videos and data collection through electroencephalography (EEG). This work presents the development of the methodologies involved, the experiments of the prototypes and validation of the hypotheses of research tests. The results are encouraging and demonstrate evidence of the capacity of representation for deaf users using the suggested prototypes.
