Vcom3D and the Laurent Clerc National Deaf Education Center of Gallaudet University located in Washington D.C. are researching and developing a proof-of-concept system for creating and delivering animated stories using the full range of facial expressions and body language of American Sign Language, as well as manual signs to aid the reading comprehension of Deaf and Hard of Hearing students.

The proof-of-concept, funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), includes a video of the story, titled "The Forest", which was signed in American Sign Language by Jason Stewart, a teacher at the Kendall Demonstration Elementary School (KDES).

Any opinions, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of NSF.

  • Captioned/subtitled version can be found under "More From:Vcom3D"

    The focus is on American Signing Language and it does not need voice.

    ASL is a popular language used by the deaf and hard of hearing.

  • Who can tell me the related documents about this Video?

  • Vcom3D and the Laurent Clerc National Deaf Education Center of Gallaudet University are researching and developing a proof-of-concept system for creating and delivering animated stories using the full range of facial expression and body language of American Sign Language, as well as manual signs. Results from this Phase I proof-of-concept will provide the basis for developing an Authoring System and run-time software for creating these animated stories.

    Hope that helps :)

  • I find the facial expressions a little harder to follow than a person signing, but still readable. Well done & very impressive!

    Have you heard of "interpretors"? THEY sometimes voice while they sign. Some people who are learning sign voice what they sign. It makes it easier for some to learn if they voice what they are signing. I am hard-of-hearing, & use sign language. JUST because one is using sign language, doesn't mean s/he is deaf.

  • That is a great digital rendering of ASL. That is fun. I good way to make video for instruction
