EmbodyMe

EmbodyMe is an application that lets you create a realistic avatar from a single photo of a face and communicate with others in a VR environment as if you were together in person. You can use your own image or a photo of a celebrity or friend, change your gender, and take on another identity.

The avatar recreates your hand and body movements and facial expressions in real time. You can talk, shake hands and punch, or take part in things that cannot happen in reality, such as taking medicine that alters your face, flying with balloons or being shot by arrows. You can take souvenir photos with people you meet and upload videos of yourself singing and dancing to Facebook and Twitter.
