EyeToy PS2 Camera To Use Digimask For 3D Faces
Thanks to Gamesindustry.biz for its article indicating that Sony has teamed up with Digimask to allow full 3D models of gamers' faces to be used in PS2 titles, providing the player has an EyeToy USB camera. The Digimask technology "allows gamers to take a couple of snaps of their own head with EyeToy and have them magically remodelled into a fully animated 3D head", and a number of unannounced games are in development using this technology, which might allow "...players to put their own face onto a player in a football game, or to [theoretically] fight against digital reproductions of their friends in online games of SOCOM." GI.Biz does, however, note: "Of course, there is the eternal concern that mischievous gamers will take pictures of, well, other body parts, giving the 'Personal Head Creation' technology a bad name."
"Of course, there is the eternal concern that mischievous gamers will take pictures of, well, other body parts, giving the 'Personal Head Creation' technology a bad name."
I can just see the discussion in game "Hey Jon, how come your smile is sideways....OH DEAR LORD"
"Of course, there is the eternal concern that mischievous gamers will take pictures of, well, other body parts, giving the 'Personal Head Creation' technology a bad name."
Gamers doing this? I don't believe it!
Give the "Personal Head Creation" a bad name? Obviously they didn't think too hard about the name they gave it did they?
"why don't you just slip into something more comfortable...like a coma!"
You know, putting the head of an underaged person on a Lara Croft-type character body could probably get you throw in jail.
I have misplaced my pants.
"I don't know. His nick was 'goatse', though"
I can't say that I don't give a fuck. I've just run out of fuck to give.
Sushi- yes, I can see how we probably invented that.
War- hell, nobody does it better, so we were probably the first.
INXS- the guy was banging some hot chicks before he was killed in that mob hit, so probably they were really Americans. (That was when being Australian was cool- so it was all a sham...and that whole 'hung himself' thing...lies...why would you kill yourself when you can bang hot chicks?)
Chess - Dunno about that one, probably invented by the Ruskies, or those sneaky Asians. *SOMEBODY* was fucking with my head when they said that the horsie should go straight, then crooked, or something like that. Yeah...definetly invented by someone sneaky..probably cheaters too.
Shakespeare- Hmm...wasn't that a combo at Long John Silvers? I think it was 'all the fish you could fit on a spear' and two crab-cakes on the side.
No reason to lie.
