RE: Personalising the HA PC

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

Mark,

This is the Matrox blurb...

<SNIP>
HeadCasting™ - communicate in 3D
See what everyone's talking about. The Matrox HeadCasting™ Engine is
designed specifically to accelerate the animation of a high-definition1,
photo-realistic 3D version of your head in real time, while offloading your
CPU. HeadCasting™ applications bundled with the Millennium G550 include the
Digimask Launchpad and viewer, which allow you to create and view a
high-resolution 3D version of your head. Also included is the HeadCasting™
edition of LIPSinc HeadFone™, which allows you to use your 3D head to chat
across the Internet with other HeadFone™ users.

Now you can communicate in 3D at work using Matrox Virtual Presenter. This
software plug-in for Microsoft PowerPoint lets you easily create and
distribute traditional PowerPoint presentations delivered by your
photo-realistic talking clone.
