Description:
'Ivy Tar' is a virtual reality signer, she is part of a project aiming to provide a translation from English to British Sign Language. 
Resource Support Notes:
The first stage of the project has looked at the manual part of the sign. The second stage will go on to examine the facial part of the sign. The final stage relates to the ability of the programme to translate from digital text to British Sign Language.

Now, try using Ivy and watch her produce 30 British Sign Language signs. Please then complete the 12 short questions on the feedback form to give your views on her signing and appearance, remembering that at present she is only producing the manual part of the sign.
