Dear Claude,

I am not sure which approaches you are planning to adopt in your work,
but i suggest you have a look in linking SW representation as input
for avatar animations... like in Denardi, Costa, Menezes 2006 from
"Workshop on the Representation and Processing of Sign Languages"

surely there are many other interesting developments in the field.

Hi all,

I'm a student reading for a B.Sc. (Hons) in Human Language Technology at the University of
Malta. For my dissertation I'm interested in developing an avatar for Maltese Sign Language,
where from a corpus of Sign Writing (and maybe Maltese words), the avatar does the signing.

Could you direct me to any readings that might help throughout the dissertation please, and
any examples which already exist? I already found a few through a web search, but I'm sure
I'm missing out on most of them.

Thank you in advance,
Kind Regards,
