Perancangan User Interface Aplikasi Pengenalan Bahasa Isyarat Bagi Penyandang Disabilitas Tunarungu/Tunawicara Serta Non Difabel Menggunakan Metode Design Thinking

Communication is not only essential for non-disabled individuals but also for people with disabilities. Individuals with disabilities face limitations in communication, leading them to use sign language in their daily lives. The main issue is that not all non-disabled individuals can use sign language. Therefore, this research aims to facilitate people with disabilities in interacting with both non-disabled individuals and fellow disabled individuals. The study employs the Design Thinking methodology, chosen to address the identified problems. Design Thinking is used to ensure an optimal user experience. Referring to the results obtained using the Single East Question (SEQ) method with a rating scale of 1 to 7, where 1-3 indicates a category of very difficult, 3.1–4 indicates a difficult category, 4.1-5 indicates a fairly easy category, 5.1-6 indicates an easy category, and 6.1-7 indicates a very easy category. The value 5 appeared twice, the value 6 appeared 11 times, and the value 7 appeared 24 times. The results of the testing phase were predominantly marked with a value of 7, resulting in an average score of 4.8. In conclusion, the User Interface Design of the Sign Language Recognition Application for Deaf/Mute and Non-Disabled Individuals, using the Design Thinking methodology, is considered easy to use. This research contributes to understanding user needs and designing a user-friendly and accessible UI for all users.
