1 Functions
The Avatar and Speech Rendering (PAF-ASR) AIM produces the Visual Object corresponding to an avatar synthesised from an Avatar Module animated by Face and Body Descriptors and the Speech Object from input Face Descriptors, input Body Descriptors, input Avatar Model, and input Speech (which is rendered unchanged as Output Speech).
| Receives | Input Speech | Speech uttered by the avatar. |
| Face Descriptors | Avatar Face Descriptors. | |
| Body Descriptors | Avatar Body Descriptors. | |
| Avatar Model | When a specific Avatar Model is externally provided. | |
| Produces | Output Speech | The input Speech Object . |
| Output Visual | The rendering of the animated avatar. |
