Hi,

I am currently doing a project on "Graphical hands animation as
in Signed English".

The objective of the project is to interprete an English sentence in Signed
English, which is an Australian sign system, using computer graphics.  
It is named as Hand Sign Translator system.  When the user types in an English
sentence, the system displays two robot hands(looks like it anyway) and animates
the signs.

I have been looking for people who were doing similar kind of work around
Australia, and have not found any.  And there was an information on the robot
which does the sign language(i think it was developed in USA), but could not 
get a hold of any information about the system. 
So, if you know of any project , or if you have some of the published 
papers related to my project, please send me a copy, or mail to me.
It will be greatly appreciated.
