Computer generated 3-dimensional models of manual alphabet handshapes for the World Wide Web

Published: 15 April 1996 Publication History

Abstract

A teaching tool consisting of a collection of three dimensional computer graphic models representing American Sign Language manual alphabet hand shapes in various locations and orientations has been established. These computer graphic models have been recorded in the "Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) [1] for display with World Wide Web browsers such as Netscape or Mosaic, in conjunction with VRML browsers such as WebSpace or WorldView".
