• We have been building a 3D model of the human oral, pharyngeal and laryngeal (OPAL) complex using the 3D biomechanical modeling and simulation toolkit, Artisynth (www.artisynth.org). Artisynth provides tools for fast simulation of tightly coupled 3D FEM and rigid body components that can have bilateral and unilateral constraints including collisions, friction and joint constraints appropriate for bone and soft tissue structures found in the OPAL complex. We have advanced 3D models of the tongue, jaw, hyoid, soft palate, face and laryngeal muscles that have been used to investigate various functional dynamics in speech and mastication. We have also explored using articulatory speech synthesis to create a real-time, gesture controlled singing device. The results thus far indicate that 3D biomechanical modeling of the OPAL complex provides new insights into speech production mechanisms and lays the foundations for advancing the state of articulatory speech synthesis.
