The objective of the Speaking Portal Project is to design, develop, and deploy a lip-sync animation API for the Kukarella text-to-speech (TTS) web application. This API will serve as an animation-generating add-on for this system so that the user can both listen to and watch their avatar speak the user provided text.
Is this related to a problem? Please describe.
There was a long and noticeable blink during the demo with the TA that seemed unnatural.
Describe the solution you'd like
Change the blinking parameters to improve realism so that long blinks are not noticeable.
Requirements for delivery
Either (a) adjust parameters so that blinks cannot happen in the current nor the previous second, or (b) adjust the max time for blink frames.
