Abstract:
Facial nonmanual signals and expressions convey critical linguistic and affective information in signed languages. Because of this, we propose that an important next step is incorporating fine detail such as wrinkles to increase the visual clarity of these facial movements for the purposes of enhancing the legibility of avatar animation, particularly on small screens. This paper reviews research efforts to portray nonmanual signals via avatar technology and surveys extant illumination models for their suitability for this application.
