Dynamic Generation of Sign Language Utterances
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.
Up 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 or rotoscoping, and generated animations, with very little interactivity. Our aim is to provide the virtual signer with richer interacting capabilities with the data contained in the web page.
