许多聋人有严重的阅读问题。因此，他们无法充分获取书面内容，例如网页上的内容。有能力的代理人有可能用这个文化群体的母语进行交流：手语。然而，最先进的系统具有有限的可理解性，并且缺少标准的评价方法。在本文中，我们提出的方法和讨论的挑战，创建和评估的签名头像。我们扩展了现有的EMBR角色动画系统的先决条件的功能，创建了一个基于光泽的动画工具，并开发了一个循环的内容创建工作流程的帮助下，两个聋人手语专家。为了进行评估，我们引入了delta测试，这是一种通过将化身与人类签名者进行比较来评估可理解性的新方法。虽然我们的系统在很短的开发时间内达到了最先进的可理解性，但我们认为未来的研究需要关注非手动方面和韵律，以达到人类签名者的可理解性水平。
Many deaf people have significant reading problems. Written content, e.g. on internet pages, is therefore not fully accessible for them. Embodied agents have the potential to communicate in the native language of this cultural group: sign language. However, state-of-the-art systems have limited comprehensibility and standard evaluation methods are missing. In this paper, we present methods and discuss challenges for the creation and evaluation of a signing avatar. We extended the existing EMBR character animation system with prerequisite functionality, created a gloss-based animation tool and developed a cyclic content creation workflow with the help of two deaf sign language experts. For evaluation, we introduce delta testing, a novel way of assessing comprehensibility by comparing avatars with human signers. While our system reached state-of-the-art comprehensibility in a short development time we argue that future research needs to focus on nonmanual aspects and prosody to reach the comprehensibility levels of human signers.
