[x3d-public] Movement Writing

[John Carlson]

An old coworker of mine turned me onto “semantic primes.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_primes

For a first step, can we develop the semantic primes in .bvh for the sign languages represented by the people on this mailing list (BSL for .uk (.ie?), ASL for .us, Auslan for .au, etc.)

What’s the best way to organize this?  Should we have a JSON object something like this:

[
{ “language”: “ASL”, “international prime IF”:  “https://ASL.IF.bvh”, …more primes in ASL… }
… more sign languages…
]

Your input is welcome.

Hi John,
Like chemML, an xml style sheet can do conversion from the xml sign code to x3d.

SignWriting Markup Language (SWML)

http://www.signwriting.org/forums/software/swml/swml01.html

Task seems to be:

Translating sign to SWML, then convert to signing animations.

Enjoy!

It appears that there is quite a bit of research behind translating sign languages and other movement languages to a graphical form.

Interesting!
