A warm welcome to our international guest Tsubasa Uchida from Japan, who is currently visiting IDGS for 6 months and is mainly doing research with us in collaboration with the DGS Corpus Project. Tsubasa works for the NHK Science and Technology Research Laboratories in Tokyo and is creating a corpus with his team, developed from motion capture data, to generate avatar-based messages in Japanese Sign Language. With standardised weather reports, among other things, various avatar formats bring more accessibility to Japanese media.
