Computer science Communication is very important to human being. Deaf community use sign language to communicate among them. Sign language is a language of hand shapes, facial expressions and movement used as a form of communication. However, current sign language learning method in sketch and illustration format is not interesting to learn and difficult to understand the sign language. Therefore, Alterity Technology takes this opportunity to develop Alterlanguage, innovative software that will help the deaf to learn Malaysian Sign Language. Augmented transition network parser, pattern-matching technique and pattern-matching search technique are used in translator to change text into a set of command. Furthermore, kinematics technique is used in developing the graphic to control the hand movement. This software can receive input in text and generate output in term of three dimension animation. It is also suitable for those who want to learn and communicate using sign language. 2008-04 Thesis http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/36133/ http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/36133/2/HazrulHusainMFSKSM2008.pdf application/pdf en public masters Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Faculty of Computer Science and Information System Faculty of Computer Science and Information System
