Resumo

This paper describes KAZOO, a web application for sign language (SL) generation using a virtual signer. Firstly, it explains the motivation to this project, which is grounded on an approach designed solely from SL corpus analysis and modelling. Then, various projects conducted in the past few years on linguistic modelling and 3D animation are presented. The platform's architecture integrates parts of this work and new pieces of software allowing control and linking of all these components. This is an ongoing project, though the current version offers the possibility to animate a virtual signer automatically and synthesize the contents using an abstract representation, the authors' own linguistic model AZee, providing a means of validating this model.
