Issues in Dynamic Generation of Sign Language Utterances for a Web 2.0 Virtual Signer

摘要

In this paper, we present our current study on the design of a virtual agent able to express sentences in Sign Language (SL), so-called 'Virtual Signer', in the context of interactive web-based applications.rnUp now, little work has been carried out on web-based virtual signers. As for current research on virtual signers in standalone applications, it relies on two main approaches: Pre-synthesized animations based on motion capture [1] or rotoscoping [2], and generated animations [3], with very little interactivity. Our aim is to provide the virtual signer with richer interacting capabilities with the data contained in the web page.
