Incredible Gizmoz

Check this out guys! I found it great - perfect for friday afternoon, and perhaps for my secondlife avatar. If you are still thinking why I am doting my animation, all I had to do was to upload a picture of mine and this got done automatically

    Hey Alok,

    There is another company that goes by the name of XID Technologies (www.xidtech.com) that has developed something along similar lines. They did a cool demo in Singapore recently where they could morph Saddam’s face on a video of Thierry Henry. Would love to know your views on the avatar space and whether you think it has much potential.

    Cheers

    Ravi, I looked at XID and they seem to be more around face recognition — looks very different from gizmoz, though some of the technology elements might be similar. And perhaps XID could do something similar to what gizmoz is doing, but they seem to be headed in different directions.

    I am very bullish on web based virtual reality, and I think avatars are an expression of the same. I do think people want to express themselves in this form. Lets see!
