Abstract :
In this paper, we provide an evaluation for our proposed real-time virtual videophone using talking heads over low-bandwidth wireless networks, in which a person´s face is substituted with a talking head to save bandwidth. Results show large enough gains in communication bandwidth to make the architecture feasible.
