COMPUTERWORLD -- Feb 13 --
OmniDate is working on a new service
that features photo-realistic avatars, online characters that look like
you. Users submit a photo, which the service renders as an animated
online character. Your avatar can then go on a virtual date in a
variety of settings, such as a restaurant or a bar. "How do you go from
reading a profile to interacting with a person online and eventually in
person?" asks CEO Igo Kotlyar. "Our goal is to bridge that gap."
FULL ARTICLE @ COMPUTERWORLD Mark Brooks: Avatars are nice, but the real killer app
is making the avatars look like the users buy layering a photo onto the
avatars. OmniDate has this in the works. That's when I think OmniDate
will take off. Its next gen IM, basically. (Full Disclosure: OmniDate
has been a client of
Courtland Brooks in the past)
