Adding more character to emails, instant messages, social media posts, or tweets are easy. Just add emojis, emoticons, or GIFs and you can express what you want to say to the other person. But since video calling is becoming a standard in communications, at least, among families and fariends, there’s been a demand to make these apps more fun. We never really thought that’s possible because after all, you only need to stay in front of the camera and talk, right?
But with ooVoo getting an update, the landscape of mobile video calling may soon change. Why, the developers added full-motion 3D characters that you can use when video chatting. Instead of your face being flashed on the screen, the person on the other end will see an animated character that follows your facial expressions. It can be fun to talk as a special character that mimics you in real time.
This new feature in ooVoo makes it more interactive although we’re guessing this is something you can’t use when the topic turns serious. When drama sets in, you don’t want a dog making faces and talking to you. It’s okay to switch to your own self.
Mobile video calls getting 3D characters introduces the idea of intelligent video. As the first in video chat to offer these animated characters, the ooVoo can expect its user base to grow. This kind of interactive experiences are one of many ways for people to feel connected with each other. As emojis help say what you feel, these 3D animated characters will add not just color to your video chats but also life and more fun.
While instant messaging apps make constant communication possible, this interactive live mobile video call can make two people feel more “together”. Talking to an animated character seems silly but hey, that’s your significant other you’re talking to. It’s okay to have fun sometimes while you’re apart.
The 3D characters are expressive. They are now added to the many ways that help a person express his emotions. This is one funny yet functional app that will make communication more interesting and interactive than ever.
