That is a really nice tool on faceturn, thanks for sharing.
Yes, I guess that 3D cameras will actually have more use in off-line production than in real-time communication.

A 3D camera for avatars would be nice to have for creating references for face expressions for artwork. I usually use http://www.faceturn.com to reference face expressions for art, but if I could get my own camera to do it, then that would be sweet.

While this is something that I would really like to have, as I often feel the urge to make my avie move or react in a way that is not possible at the moment, I do see another downside to this, besides the expected lag and other technical problems … did you ever think of all the permanently masturbating avies we will see all over the grid then? ;-D

What a coincidence, as when I was reading this (and didn’t have time to comment immediately) I was actually very frustrated about the lack of appropriate expressions, particularly when it comes to more complicated emotions. And indeed, it’s the spontaneity that often is the bottleneck :(

Besides that,I fully agree with Eidur about the “see through people” and smiling from your heart. I actually never use the facial animations, except for a joke or a picture.

LOL
Providing that there is some clever coding… it shouldn’t lag all over the grid. Just the resident who is using it. The rest should get just anims. Hmmmm… though, there will be a hell lot of custom anims in permanent use :)

my excitement about this is about the lag it will stream all over the grid… :P

*blows a kiss to Eidur.
Yes, I agree we could all benefit from new set of facial animations.

My excitement about this is not so much about the look as much as about spontaneity.

Well, actually (it’s a personal crazyness, I know) some avis do “shine” to me… I can feel their “expression” trought the monitor and enjoy them…
That’s why I love to get in touch with people… To establish a connection… To “see” trough them…
As an example my dear (and longtimer ;)) friend… I love the picture you posted on this blog entry…
But it’s not you.
Believe me, you look absolutely much more stunning when you smile with your heart :)

P.S.
I agree with Vidal about the crashes…
