Abstract

Information and mathematical models are proposed for the animation of sign language communication based on a virtual human model. A model is developed to fix sign language morphemes and is used to create a technology and software to generate, store, and reproduce gestures. Algorithmic solutions are proposed for the computation of human-like trajectories of hand and body movements in passing from a gesture to another and also facial expressions and articulation.
