ViSiCAST是由欧盟资助的一个重大新项目，旨在通过虚拟人或化身提供的手语为聋人公民提供更好的服务和设施。我们在这里给出该项目的概要，并描述在语言学和语言处理领域的早期工作。这项工作涵盖了两个不同但相关的领域：第一，为聋人手语手势开发了符合XML的符号，可以用来驱动手势化身；第二，开发了一个框架，支持将自然语言文本转换为这种面向手势的符号。
ViSiCAST is a major new project funded by the European Union, aiming to provide improved access to services and facilities for deaf citizens through sign language presented by a virtual human, or avatar. We give here an outline of the project, and describe early work in the area of linguistics and language processing. This work covers two distinct but related areas: first, the development of an XML-compliant notation for deaf sign language gestures, which can be used to drive the signing avatar; and, second, the development of a framework supporting the translation of natural language text into this gesture-orientated notation.
