I am working on my BookBuilder assignment. While writing scripts for my little avatar, I was suddenly pulled back into our continuing classroom discussion about supposed "aides" which actually distract learners.
For example, sign or voice interpreters who inject their own emotion into words rather than translating them mechanically.
The avatars in the book builder move their lips when they read the text. But it does not look to me like their mouths simulate the positions required to make the sounds. In other words, the lips move more or less at random, rather than trying to mimic the movements of a person who was actually making those particular sounds.
For people who are good at lip reading, wouldn't this random "noise" drive them nuts?
Would it be better to have the option to turn off the mouth movements, and just sort of have the characters think out loud?
