Oddcast and iSpeakVideo for Avatar Gadgets
Two of the leading companies that provide gadget avatars are Oddcast and iSpeakVideo. If you are looking to possibly use avatars as gadgets on your website, these two online companies are the places to begin.
Oddcast has been on the leading edge of interactive audio-visual Internet technology since 1999. One of their most famous avatar-gadget applications is the Monk-e-Mail for CareerBuilders-dot-com. Monk-e-Mail makes use of talking animated chimp, gorilla, or monkey avatars to send a message. Oddcast built this campaign based on CareerBuilders’ already established, multi-million dollar TV commercials that used dressed up chimpanzees and had run for two years prior to Monk-e-Mail. Monk-e-Mail has been so successful that since it was implemented, CareerBuilders has seen a 30% increase in traffic and has been catapulted past Yahoo’s Monster Jobs as the #1 online source for finding a new job or career.
Oddcast provides you with a number of avatar templates that you can use to create gadgets. Monk-e-Mail is an instance of their Illustrated Characters. These are created by a consumer-facing editor that allows users to create fully animated 2D character illustrations that move, speak, and will automatically lip-sync to any voice or text input. Then there’s 3D Photo Face. According to the Oddcast website, with this avatar application users can:
- Upload 2D images to create fully-rendered 3D faces.
- Modify facial features.
- Alter race or ethnicity.
- Change emotions and facial expressions.
- Simulate aging, either making the image younger or older.
- Create caricatures.
- Add accessories such as reading glasses or jewelry.
- Add speech to characters via a computer microphone, uploaded mp3 file, phone call, or text-to-speech.
- Share with friends via e-mail or Web publishing options.
- Gain access to a robust reporting tool that provides marketers with real-time usage and distribution reports.
With 3D Video Star, you can star in any movie scene. With Character Morph, you morph your photograph into another image. And then there are the Full Body 3D Characters which “are the next generation of avatars. Realistic from all angles, these characters can interact with other 3D objects within a scene. They can respond to user commands for an interactive 3D experience.”
