Web hosts and Dialog Robots:
The Inovani animation engine is used to run web
hosts; that is talking heads that speak on web pages.
The
talking heads can be delivered by a Java applet or an Internet
Explorer Plugin that is downloaded to the client's PC.
The
animation is generated on a server, either generated on demand real-time
or generated off line and stored for repeated use.
To
generate the animations, Inovani deliver an HTTP based service either
hosted by Inovani or installed at customer sites.
More on this here.
See the FaceMS
web-site or a
demo page for examples of real-time talking heads.
On
this site there is also a demo of a
simple dialog robot with talking heads.
(For
the demos you need to have Java
installed.)
