About

Jason Situ is a rising scholar at the intersection of accessible computing, human-computer interaction, and disability studies. His most prominent work introduces "Signmaku," a pioneering video commenting system designed specifically for Deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) users. Building on the popularity of text-based danmaku, Situ recognized that for many DHH individuals, American Sign Language (ASL) is their primary language, not English. His 2024 paper, "Towards Inclusive Video Commenting: Introducing Signmaku for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing," has already garnered 10 citations, reflecting its immediate impact on the accessibility community. This work represents a significant contribution by reimagining mainstream engagement tools through a culturally and linguistically inclusive lens. Situ's research not only advances technical design but also challenges assumptions about who video platforms are built for. By centering ASL in digital interaction, he is helping to shape a more equitable online landscape. His achievements mark him as a thoughtful and impactful voice in accessible technology, with work that resonates deeply with both researchers and practitioners committed to inclusive design.
