These guidelines specify a procedure for annotating non-manual elements in visual communication data.
Visual communication data are videos or motion capture files used to investigate visual communication between people. Visual communication includes multimodal communication (speaking and gesturing at the same time), silent gesture (gesturing alone, often in a lab setting), or sign language (e.g., Dutch Sign Language).
Non-manual elements are facial expressions, and head and body movements that people make while communicating. Manual elements are hand movements and configurations.
