chat. real time conversations virtually anywhere; talk avatar-to-avatar or make it more dramatic with live video chat - online, on mobile & on the desktop.

The chat module provides numerous ways for individuals within any community to talk in real-time; choose from basic instant messenger capability to more visual and interactive 3D or video chat.

digital identity

Personalised by users, avatars can be used to create distinctive 3D identities and are modified using an online character builder.

animated encounters

Animated 3D avatars provide visual interactions that are emotional, responsive and absorbing in 3D chatrooms. Animated private and group chat is possible and sometimes an integral part of gameplay (see virtual environments & games).

3d communication

Avatars communicate through speech bubbles with automatic and user-defined gestures and animations that suit the activity or emphasise the point. Automatic triggers mean characters animate from text typed, smileys :) and net slang (rofl).

Our patented animation & character technology enables users to have audio dialogue using their own voice, an audio recording or text inputs. Avatars automatically lip-synch and animate.

instant messaging

Full instant messenger chat functionality is available as a separate downloadable IM client for the desktop.

video chat

Talking in real-time via a web cam; video chat enables users to talk live via their computers or mobile phones to get the real experience.

moderation

Moderation functions and parental control settings are built in to chat and provide full control over content and editorial input.
