JASigning Demos
JASigning
JASigning is the virtual signing software developed at UEA that uses 3D virtual characters to perform signs in the natural deaf sign languages used in different countries. The software converts a representation of a sign in SiGML, an XML format based on HamNoSys notation, into animation data for a signing avatar using 3D realtime graphics technology.
This page provides links to a number of interactive demos of the software. The demos will automatically download the JASigning software on demand. Some movies of the animations produced by the software show the range of avatars used and the style of the virtual signing.
The distribution of the software enables JASigning Java applications to be downloaded and a number of SiGML Tools support creation of signed content for use with the software.
Demos
A number of BSL Signs are animated using the JASigning applet. This site was developed by Theodore Jones, City of Norwich School, during time spent on Year 10 work experience at School of Computing Sciences, UEA in July 2010.
