A 3D audio-visual renderer has been developed to implement Momentum’s patented face animation technology for mobile and videophone applications. The renderer allows for high-quality, speech-synchronized lip and head animation with minimum latency.
Real-Time Avatar for Video Telephony
Momentum offers a novel technology to provide a real-time avatar-based video call solution for 3G mobile and videophone service providers. During an avatar video call, the user’s voice will be processed in real-time in order to drive Momentum’s facial animation rendering engine on the mobile or videophone service providers servers. The lip-synchronized and photo-realistic live avatar video stream will be transmitted over the network to the other user’s phone.
Features
- Auto lip-synchronization, facial expression and head motion
- Standard set of avatars as well as automatic personalized avatar generation
Benefits
- Allows video telephony between 3G mobile phones/videophones for phones without cameras
- State-of-the-art technology to support company image
The System Diagram:
As the speech stream arrives at the telecom service provider’s system (1), the stream is transmitted to the Avatar generation subsystem (2) for subscribers of the avatar service. The real-time speech recognition module generates input for the real-time facial animation rendering engine (3). The output video is compressed to a suitable format for delivery (4). The original speech stream is combined with the avatar video and finally sent to the receiver (5).

Text-to-Speech for Avatar Rendering
Momentum also offers Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology for real-time avatar-based rendering solution for mobile and videophone service providers. Momentum’s TTS software automatically converts text input to speech, which can be used to drive Momentum’s facial animation rendering engine.
Features
- TTS engine to create a speech sample and viseme based lip-synced render from text only
- Rapid, automatic, low-cost video generation
- Auto lip sync, facial expression and head motion
- Standard set of avatars, photorealistic or cartoon
Benefits
- Revenue generation through subscriptions
- Revenue generation through selling promotion services to businesses
