3D avatars: this would be a cool techno for phones!
December 21st, 2006
Techcrunch published today a post about Gizmoz, an Israli company that seems to have increadible technology to create avatar. Read Michael Arrigton paper for full story, but as a mobile obsessed guy, it’s the first time that I see a 3D mobile avatar technology that could be used for mobile…
The customized avatar service is still in private beta, but from the screen shots, it seems quite easy to create your own avata from a picture. Which is great, as now most of the cell phones haves camera. Then, add recording, or text to spach, a few transformations and you have tons of perssonalized services that could be created easily….

I wouldn’t called imvu a competitor, they are simply boring.
the best thing on talking headz is that it’s multy purpose.
from SN to IMing , to video sharing, ecards, tv, mobile, you name it…
