Abstract :
In this paper, we begin by reporting our work in lip synchronization. We then expand on this technology to introduce our recent effort in developing a networked collaborative environment that integrates image analysis, face animation, and directional sound in order to provide a truly immersive environment, with the goal of replacing existing video conferencing platforms. A related technology, streaming of 3D objects, is also introduced
