Big Stage is a media company whose breakthrough technology was shown at the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Las Vegas, where Intel demonstrated future Internet computing applications, such as Big Stage.
Big Stage, still a private beta application, allows users to easily create and integrate a life-like 3D avatar of themselves into everything from famous movie scenes, TV shows and video games, to music videos, short video clips, virtual worlds, still images, user-generated content, instant messages, emails, social networks and more - instantly. Big Stage will launch to consumers in the second quarter of 2008.
Jonathan Strietzel, Founder and Chief Creative Officer at Big Stage, introduced their service together with Paul Otellini, CEO of Intel, and Steve Harwell, former vocalist of Smash Mouth and Radio Angel:
“Big Stage is all about the personal Internet. The personal Internet is a place where you're going to be able to create the digital version of you. And that version of you will be ported into all sorts of new and exciting entertainment experiences. Now all this is totally capable, using a standard digital camera right here. We're going to create an avatar, Steve, by taking three simple pictures. …we're going to take these three pictures and we're going to bring them right over here to this PC. … we're going to build a digital Steve now. So get ready. It will be around 30 seconds to a minute or so … Now what do you do with that avatar once all of you guys have created a digital version of yourself? The digital avatar can then be ported into two forms of content, a still image or a video. And you can take those still images and videos and share them over the amazing social networking technologies we've seen evolve in the past years."
I am waiting impatiently to try their service! Do you think it will be a big deal?
