Title: The automation of spinal non-manual signals in American Sign Language
Abstract: American Sign Language (ASL) is the first language of the Deaf in the United States. The most effective method for communication between the Deaf and Hearing is certified ASL interpreters, however interpreters are not always available. In this case, the use of a translator producing 3D animations of ASL could improve communication, however the characterization of ASL for automated 3D animation is still an open question. The goal of this research is to determine how and when non-manual signals are used in ASL sentences, and develop a methodology to portray them as 3D animations.
