Issues in Dynamic Generation of Sign Language Utterances for a Web 2.0 Virtual Signer
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 [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.

In this paper, we present SL Teacher, a framework for teaching French sign language using web 2.0 and virtual signer technologies. We present here the main features of the web-based framework that supports the sign lexicon animation and the dynamic sign language utterances generation. We discuss the tradeoffs and the ensuing simplifications applied in order to insure a good level of interactivi...

The work reported in this study is based on research that has been carried out while developing a sign synthesis system for Greek Sign Language (GSL): theoretical linguistic analysis as well as lexicon and grammar resources derived from this analysis. We focus on the organisation of linguistic knowledge that initiates the multi-functional processing required to achieve sign generation performed...

This study sought to investigate dynamic assessment (DA) - an assessment approach that embeds inter- vention within the assessment process and that yields information about the learner’s responsiveness to this intervention - and the writing performance of the second language (L2) learners in Web 2.0 contexts. To this end, pre and post-treatment writings of 45 par...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of a Greek Sign Language Synthesis System
In this paper we present the design and implementation of a dynamic synthesis platform for Greek Sign Language (GSL). The platform utilizes standard virtual character animation and web3d technologies for the synthesis of sign sequences/streams, exploiting digital linguistic resources of both lexicon and grammar of GSL. The input to the platform is written Greek text from early elementary school...
