海报摘要

This study explores the challenges that interpreters face as a result of the immaturity of Remote Simultaneous Interpreting (RSI) platforms and how visual design impacts user experience by examining the visual demands of remote simultaneous interpreters. A survey and experimental study were conducted with 29 remote simultaneous interpreters to gather data on their visual needs and preferences. The results of this study can inform the design of RSI platforms and training programs to improve user friendliness and mitigate negative impacts on the interpreter's experience.
