INTRODUCING HUMAVATARS: FUTURECAST SYSTEM PUTS YOU IN LEADING ROLES IN NEXT-GEN MOVIES
Humavatar: scan of human head on CGI body--combo of human and avatar= humavatar, jschwarz, 6/13/05
More than 10 years ago, I wrote about one of my dreams "to project an image of myself onto a movie screen in any scene of my choice starring Kevin Costner" (MULTIMEDIA: GATEWAY TO THE NEXT MILLENNIUM, edited by Robert Aston/Joyce Schwarz, Harcourt Brace/AP Professional, 1994Amazon.com: Books: Multimedia). Now I read about a new system "FUTURECAST" which allows visitors to the Mitsui-Toshiba Pavilion at Japan's Aichi Expo 2005Cached to "star" in the exhibit's film "Grand Odyssey". Check out the creators of the film which include Visual Futurist Syd Mead (BLADE RUNNER etc) Here's a link to a previous story online about the technology at Technovelgy Cached . Note the comments about using the Futurecast technology for porn. So we move one step forward to me on-screen with Kevin Costner or say, after "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" I'll change that to Brad Pitt.
