Abstract
This document presents an apparatus and method for creating and displaying a three dimensional CGI character performing signs and gestures that form a motion communication capability. The 3D CGI character is created as a digital construct that is displayed on a silhouette that has an outline of the character created. The top portion of the display silhouette is transparent. A holographic projector displays the 3D CGI character on the transparent portion of the display silhouette. The bottom half of the display silhouette is opaque and conceals the CPU and projector components. The entire silhouette performs as a communicator using a gesture-based communication protocol for presenting signs and gestures of a defined sign language while also speaking the phrases being communicated by the signs and gestures.
