Abstract

This article proposes mathematical models and an information technology for constructing movements of a virtual person and reproducing a sign language based on a set of gesture units and transitions between them. The implementation of movement reproduction in a virtual model allows obtaining a real-time animation of sign information. The efficiency of the proposed approach is illustrated by an example of modelling and identifying dactyl information.
