[Sw-l] SignTube Program for SW captions on videos

[John Carlson]

Valerie, those are good links, and I will look at them in more detail.
What strikes me is I want to do my project for deafblind people, using
Protactile.  If we can convert SWML to robotic mannequin control (possibly
using a robot mannequin and software from https://www.vcom3d.com/ ) instead
of a virtual avatar, that would be extremely cool, then I won't seem so
pressured from another dimension.

Thanks!

John
