  Abstract

This paper proposes a 3D avatar which expresses sign language in a very natural way using lips, facial expression, complexion, pupil motion and body motion as well as hand shape, hand posture and hand motion to overcome the limitation of conventional sign language avatars from a deaf's viewpoint. To describe motion data of hand and other body components structurally and enhance the performance of databases, we introduce the concept of a hyper sign sentence. We show the superiority of the developed system by a usability test through a questionnaire survey.
