We have invented yet another technology. This time it’s about creating 3D avatars out of facial photos. We already tested the technology in one of our own tools, PhotoSmileys. The app allows creating animated smileys with a range of facial expressions out of a single picture containing a person’s face. It works like a charm: http://youtu.be/-x_Yof1wFQE

The new avatar technology can automatically turn any facial photograph into a convincing animated 3D model. That model will be able to express a wide range of emotions such as anger, laugher, stress, smile, and so on. The models can then be rendered in one of the popular graphic formats (e.g. GIF) to be used in mobile applications, animated postcards, chats, games and social networks.

You won’t have to install or configure anything if you decide to make use of our new technology. We are about to start providing access to the API hosted on our servers. Please feel free to contact us to discuss the details!
