#Simon explainer video toolkit manual

The user study with 24 participants showed that the toolkit is favorable over manual authoring, and the generated gestures were also human-like and appropriate to input speech. For the toolkit, we propose a neural generative model that synthesizes gestures from speech and accommodates fine-level pose controls and coarse-level style controls from users. We introduce a new gesture generation toolkit, named SGToolkit, which gives a higher quality output than automatic methods and is more efficient than manual authoring. Automatic generation methods show promising results, but their output quality is not satisfactory yet, and it is hard to modify outputs as a gesture designer wants. Existing behavior authoring approaches including keyframe animation and motion capture are too expensive to use when there are numerous utterances requiring gestures. Non-verbal behavior is essential for embodied agents like social robots, virtual avatars, and digital humans.
