Getting emotional with text
Picture messaging on mobile phones gets personality, thanks to Gizmoz Talking Heads, which allow cell phone users to send animated text messages, according to Australia's News.com.
"Gizmoz's messaging platform provides a new way for people to communicate using 3D characters animated by text, voice and emotion.
Its offerings include Moodz and Talking Headz for the creation of emotive MMS, and video messages.
Picture messages can show happiness, boredom or even love.
In addition to English, Gizmoz characters can speak German, French, Italian, Spanish, Swedish, Portuguese, Mandarin and Cantonese."
