Virtual Humans Research at UEA

This site provides information on research by the Virtual Humans Group at UEA. The main focus of the group is on notations and techniques for animating deaf sign language. This work is currently undertaken through the Dicta-Sign project build on work in ViSiCAST and eSIGN. The group has developed the JASigning animation software, which is available for evaluation, which processes gestural data encoded in the SiGML notation, based on HamNoSys from the University of Hamburg. A number of Editing Tools for entering and viewing SiGML and HamNoSys data are available.
