LiveAvatar: Augmented reality and Kinect avatar

Hello everybody, What we're trying to do is something like this: http:/[login to view URL]‎ As you can see, the video shows a 3D character talking and reacting to people around him. As far as we know, this can be made using the avatar technology (sort of remote control of the entire character body using kinect) and augmented reality (to place him right on the stage). In our case we're gonna need to use a specific 3D model from StarWars and some little background animations. Face recognition is a must (if we don't use Darth Vader). * The person that is using the Kinect won't show up on the stage, so the application must be able to use a HD camera pointing to the stage and a Kinect pointing to the person doing the movements. * The 3D model should have an intro animation (example: fade in). * We don't need the model to turn around (I mean, we don't need the model to rotate 180º), maybe turn to the left - right (90º) would be fine so the model can 'talk' with the people. * When you're using avatar and Kinect you can see some funny bugs happen when it doesn't track a person correctly, we need to make an animation to cover this bugs when those happen (example: fade out and fade in again). The deadline for this project is March 13th (around 20 days) We would like to work with experienced people who had used Kinect and augmented reality before.
