Hello there, I’m quite new here so I’m sorry if there is any mistakes.

I wonder whether there is any software out there that could be able to generate some gesture automatically from a bot response sentence?

example response :
Sorry, I could not understand what are you talking about
result :
<headshake> <left hand wave up> <right hand wave up>

It doesn’t have to be fully detailed and correct all the time.
I have try contacting professor who create BEAT,
but he haven’t response, maybe it’s because of my bad English.

I have been working on a 3D chatbot for sometime,
and I feel really sorry for her that she could not move a bit.
In case you were curious please visit my site here

Please help. Any comments and suggestions is fully appreciate.
