The Electro-Magnetic Articulography (EMA) and graphic transform technology were used to develop the reality inner articulatory movements of 3D talking head. Furthermore, relevant corpus was organized in a listening module and a speaking module of the system to help to recover the HI children’s language skills. Then, the accuracy of virtual reality (VR) articulatory movement model was evaluated through a series of experiments. Finally, a pilot test was performed o
