Abstract

This article presents recent progress with design of sign language synthesis and avatar animation adapted for the web environment. New 3D rendering method is considered to enable transfer of avatar animation to end users. Furthermore the animation efficiency of facial expressions as part of the non-manual component is discussed. The designed web service ensures on-line accessibility and fluent animation of 3D avatar model, does not require any additional software and gives a wide range of usage for target users.
