<p>Hi John and Joseph, <br>
</p>
<p> I think what would be useful first would be a ChatGPT prompt
that could interpret SignWriting into BVH. Then we could go from
SignWriting to avatars.</p>
<p>What do you think?</p></div><div>

<p class="MsoNormal">OK, BVH gives a hierarchy of actuators and

<p class="MsoNormal">For example, one set of data could be the

<p class="MsoNormal">Now all you need to do is describe where
the joint position and rotation at the start of the motion,
what happens during the motion and where and when that motion
is complete. Next, since other elements of the hand may change
position during the motion we can deal with other elements of
the hand. For instance, in this motion the index finger second
joint bends from relaxed to straight to 90 degrees to straight
then relaxed during the motion. In other words, the right
hand index finger second joint does some pitch animation. </p>
