Features

FaceCommunicator<sup>(R)</sup>-BBE enables face–to-face communication that is rich in expressions and entertainment while at the same time protecting the privacy of its users.
Safe and Secure Communication
FaceCommunicator(R)-BBE provides an environment for conversations with camouflaged user faces and backgrounds. Users can safely enjoy conversations over the Internet with an unspecified number of friends whom they have never met without exposing their real face, background, voice and surrounding noises.
Support for a Variety of Input Sources
The software supports input from a variety of sources, including keyboards, text, voice, and of course cameras.
Camera
The product generates a real-looking CG character animation that is synchronized with the movements of a face image input from a camera.
Keyboard
With keyboard or mouse operations, users can generate pre-embedded CG animations to express feelings at any timing.
Text
In sync with a text-to-speech function, the software generates movements of the mouth as CG animation to make an animated character look as if talking.
Voice
The software generates movements of the mouth as CG animation in sync with voice input from a microphone or another device to make an animated character look as if talking.
Enjoyable Visual Communication
The animated characters and backgrounds can be changed as desired. And since some animated characters have movements of the eyebrows linked to movements of the mouth, users can experience a feeling of virtual reality as if they were actually talking to that character, making conversations even more entertaining.
Easy-to-use Interface
Users can easily select the animated character or expression they want to use on their PC screen.
