Overview of the Sign3D Project High-fidelity 3D recording, indexing and editing of French Sign Language content

The Sign3D project aims at creating a range of innovative tools to allow the recording and the processing of motion captured French Sign Language (LSF) content. The challenge is to design a complete workflow from the movement capture (including all upper body part articulations, facial expression and gaze direction) to their restitution using a 3D virtual signer. We present the main innovation challenges at each step of the project. As accessibility for Deaf people through Sign Language is one goal of this project, a project overview of the project in SL is accessible at the following address : http://sign3d.websourd.org/sltat
