Ian
Using a digital camera I can take a picture of you, like this [Demo taking a picture] and using a development tool on the website called Evolver I can upload the picture I have taken
and create a model of you. Like this one..
!Split screen on Plasma Sy and Avatar
!Sy
That’s incredible. Is it hard to do?
!Recorded footage of Creating Sy using development tool
!Ian
No it’s all pretty simple, you upload your image and then you can create a body that matches yours using the development tool. I chose stick insect for you!! You can then change the
hair, add clothes, like I have done with you Sy.

The future of this could be amazing, firstly what I have done with your avatar is put you into a gaming environment using another piece of really cool professional development software
called Unity 3D..
