Abstract
The object of the paper is the development of a new human computer communication (HCC) interface for configuration and animation of a signing semantroid. The work presented in this paper builds on two recent research results: (1) the concepts of semantroid (=semantic android - an avatar limited to head and hands), and semantic intensity (=semantic content); and (2) the KUI (keyboard user interface) method, a keyboard-based method of configuration and animation of 3D hand gestures and facial expressions. In particular, the paper focuses on: (1) development of a new set of keyboard-controlled facial parameters of the semantroid for animation of American Sign Language (ASL) non-manuals, and (2) design of an efficient HCC interface for input and encoding recording of ASL handshapes and facial expressions.
