Abstract
Apparatus, systems, media and/or methods may involve animating avatars. User facial motion data may be extracted that corresponds to one or more user facial gestures observed by an image capture device when a user emulates a source object. An avatar animation may be provided based on the user facial motion data. Also, script data may be provided to the user and/or the user facial motion data may be extracted when the user utilizes the script data. Moreover, audio may be captured and/or converted to a predetermined tone. Source facial motion data may be extracted and/or an avatar animation may be provided based on the source facial motion data. A degree of match may be determined between the user facial motion data of a plurality of users and the source facial motion data. The user may select an avatar as a user avatar and/or a source object avatar.
