Closed Interpreting

A proposed accessibility feature for video content where a sign language interpreter video can be toggled on or off and displayed alongside the main video, analogous to closed captions for text. Unlike embedded "open" interpreters that are permanently part of the video, closed interpreting allows viewers to enable interpretation on demand and potentially customize its appearance (position, size, opacity). This concept addresses the needs of deaf and hard of hearing viewers who rely on sign language as their primary communication method and for whom text captions may be less accessible.
