  • Abstract
    In this paper, we propose a new process for sign language synthesis. Our approach is based on a geometric description of signs to animate a signing avatar. We work as follows: the signs are divided in timing units and treated separately in a sequential process. The final results are merged into a global animation file describing the whole sign in terms of articulatory angles for a skeleton.
