ABSTRACT:
A sign language editing apparatus includes a glove-type sensor for converting movement of fingers in the sign language into an electrical signal to produce time series data of sign language words, a sign language word data editing device for adding predetermined additional data to the time series data inputted from the glove-type sensor to process the time series data, a sign language word dictionary for storing the time series data of sign language words processed by the sign language word data editing device, a sign language sentence data editing device for reading out the time series data of sign language words stored in the sign language word dictionary in accordance with the predetermined characters inputted from the input unit and adding predetermined additional information to the time series data of sign language words to produce time series data of sign language sentence, a sign language animation synthesizing device inputted with the time series data of sign language sentence produced by the sign language sentence data editing device to produce sign language animation expressing movement of the sign language, and a display unit for displaying the sign language animation produced by the sign language animation synthesizing device.
