Improving Communication Using 3D Animation

This paper presents a high level view of a project which aims at improving the communication between people who do not share the same language by using a 3D animation upper layer to lift the inherent limitations of written text. We will produce animation using the Collada file format, a standard based on the XML format. This project (GITAN ) has started in January 2010, and we expect to have the first results by the end of 2010. A limited set of sentences will validate the global process and help us refine the tools developed in the pipeline.
