Towards the Specification of an ECA with Variants of Gestures

The animation of an ECA, for most of animation systems, implies that its behaviour is encoded in a representation language, giving a form for each modality of a behavior. Interested in gestures, several representation languages exist already that that usually give a physical description of the necessary information for the production and reproduction of gestures, and for its synchronization with the other modalities. In our work, we aim at enriching the SAIBA description of gestures with semantic considerations, enabling an ECA to use a gesture for a wide range of applications.
