In this paper, we describe a software module for the animation of a virtual interpreter that translates from Italian to the Italian Sign Language (LIS). The system we describe takes a ”synthetic” approach to the generation of the sign language, by composing and parametrizing pre-captured and hand-animated signs, to adapt them to the context in which they occur.

Abstract

In this paper, we describe a software module for the animation of a virtual interpreter that translates from Italian to the Italian Sign Language (LIS). The system we describe takes a ”synthetic” approach to the generation of the sign language, by composing and parametrizing pre-captured and hand-animated signs, to adapt them to the context in which they occur.

Intelligent virtual agents (IVAs) are interactive characters that exhibit human-like qualities and communicate with humans or with each other using natural human modalities such as behavior, gesture and speech. IVAs are capable of real-time perception, cognition and action that allow them to participate in a dynamic social environment.
