Abstract

We outline the main features of our synthetic virtual human sign language system, JASigning. We describe how we have extended its input notation, SiGML, to allow explicit control of performance time, and we describe our initial steps on the path to integrating virtual human sign language performance into annotation tools, where it may be compared with video depicting the corresponding real human performance.
