Abstract
The usefulness of the Slovak-speaking virtual head, as well as 3D visualization tools in the new communication, teaching and presentation technologies, as well as in a variety of audiovisual communications software technologies is almost unlimited. One of the options is the learning through technologies for hearing impaired people. Other, which is a most desired technology, is the use of a virtual head in the field of different communication forms. In the field of crisis management, where the virtual head present the warning messages and navigates during the evacuation of people from reproducing the public institutions such as schools, theatres, etc. 3D visualization tools, as well as Slovak-speaking head and Slovak speech visemas have been designed and tested in our the Institute of Informatics, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava, Slovakia.
