hello
i want to build my graduation project using c# language
and the project will simulate the deaf language (sign language)
any one have idea how to do that ?

and what you advise me to use
to represent the man who interprits the spoken words to motion
and i want to desing 3d movie
please help me

and what is your opinion in this project is it good project or no

3D? Ok, if you are good with 3DS MAX or any other 3D software, then this is the best way you can do it cause the images will be good and clean, yet, if you are not, it will be really hard.

I suggest borrowing a HD camera, find some good looking girl/guy (a model would probably charge you), get hold of some white background and good lights and start shooting. The key is to synchronize the movements so that the video won't appear interrupted. (That's why 3D would be better, too bad it is harder)

If you can make it in 3D, I recommend doing it like that, but it will take you time to make the hands and gestures for each word. Also, remember that you have to play the animation, not the movie in C#, you would probably have to use the XNA framework.

The project idea is very very good, I like it.

Tell me how much time you have till your finals and how good you are in 3D modelling so I can choose witch one of these methods is better.

ok
i have some information about opengl is it useful

[Davide]

Can you create 3D models of hands? Can you animate them?

OpenGL knowledge is good, I don't know on how to use it with C# though. Google it.

yes i have anowledge how to create 3d motion
but may i cannot design good 3d charachter because iam not an artist

See if you can find an artist. I told you, this is the best method. If you are filming somebody doing the movements, your video will have a lot of pauses when "talking".

i think this project is very hard to do

[Davide]

I agree. But it's a very good idea, and it would be very useful to people.

use windows speech api,this would recognize the words & do things accordingly [gives you some idea,if you are using vista then in your control panel click the speech recognition this software is fully programmed using WPF , C# Only.

Too bad deaf people can't talk.

[gokuajmes]

People who can't talk : Mute
People who can't Hear : Deaf.
that was only a Idea!! Now all i wanted to mean from that previous post was Get the flow on how the software has to be designed.If they can't hear doesn't mean they can't Read :D

Ok Mr. Intelligent, can you please tell me how a man that can't hear his own voice speak? Deaf people lose their voice in time.
