TalkingShow™, an evolutionary type of Internet software for creating animated 3D characters, welcomes you, literally, to a new era in multimedia applications for the Internet. By utilizing facial animation and speech recognition from MPEG-4 technology, TalkingShow™ instantly transforms static and listless web presentations into interactive and engaging mediums that lock in visitors for hours on end.
With TalkingShow™, 2D images are a thing of the past. Choose any facial image, animated 3D character, or photographs from your own private collection, and you're ready to begin welcoming Web visitors by donning a newscaster's attire and broadcasting the latest news; dressing up as jolly old St. Nick to welcome shoppers and boost e-commerce sales; and transforming into a charming celebrity to entice fans or endorse products. Visitors will feel an uncanny sense of familiarity yet a new sensation of online intimacy and excitement never experienced before.
These endless possibilities are complemented by its amazing streaming format file size and ease of handling. TalkingShow™ uses client-generated still images as the source of all facial animation production and because it is locally synthesized, the image quality is better than normal streaming video clips when it is exported in streaming format. Thus, bandwidth requirements are drastically minimized to as low as 25% of the bandwidth for 56k modems.
Add to this other great show-stopping features such as your own TalkingShow™ Studio that allows you to control all aspects of your character! Manipulate time sequences, add head motion, insert facial expressions, select different backgrounds, record or load voice clips, adjust lip synchronization, preview your character, or create markers and scripts that allow you to seamlessly match TalkingShow™ characters with Web presentations to resemble live press conferences or speeches.
Finally, the TalkingShow™ StageManager database allows you to search, organize, and mix 'n' match voice clips along with facial models so you can assemble an entire cast of TalkingShow™ characters that will leave your Web visitors entertained until the end of eternity.
