Fujitsu makes 3G animated avatar breakthrough

edited December 2003 in Science & Tech
Fujitsu has joined forces with Japan's top cell phone operator NTT DoCoMo, to produce advanced 3G phones that offer animated characters for video conversations.

[blockquote]The FOMA 900i series feature 'Chara-den' which are avatars that hide the sender's face during a live video call but which can change the character's expressions in real time.

    Wow, isn't that a complete waste of money. Pay an obscene amount of money per minute to see an animated character....
