It is an excellent presentation and I can see that people gave you a standing ovation at the end - that is wonderful...</div><div><br></div><div>The Avatar seems to move well. Congratulations on all this -</div><div><br></div><div>I agree with Charles and Ronnie - It would be great if your user interface for the dictionary of signs included some SignWriting - There are Deaf people and signers in Tunisia who are learning and who use SignWriting now - So pictures of handshapes with life-like illustrations are good, but the same screen could also have the SignWriting symbols for those handshapes smaller but right near the illustration as one more aide in assisting the Deaf - just a thought - and of course using SignWriting for searching for signs would be great too, like we do in SignPuddle software…If you are ever interested in that idea, please tell us and we can provide support for your programmers...</div><div><br></div><div>I assume that you are using SWML for the programming of the Avatar? I know you were before, but I didn't notice that you mentioned how it was programmed and that is understandable, since the audience probably would not have been interested in such details - I would appreciate any information you can give us on the use of SignWriting or SWML in the project -</div><div><br></div><div>I had to join TED to write a response…Here is what I said:</div><div><br></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 18px/normal Helvetica; ">"Thank you, Professor Mohamed Jemni, for the "WebSign" Sign Language Avatar project in Tunisia. We are very happy that SignWriting's SWML has been useful for the programming aspects of the project, and we wish you great success in future developments. I recommend this for TED2013!
