Abstract :
The authors´ goal is to realize a very natural human-machine communication environment by giving a face to computer terminal or communication system. The paper presents a prototype multi-media man-machine interface with a speaking head on a workstation. The face on the display, speaks the system messages and mail text to the user. They propose a prototype computer interface, and synchronization method between image and speech, and a scenario tool to express delicate face expressions and animation scenes
