Abstract
A non-transitory, tangible, computer-readable storage medium may contain a program of instructions that cause a computer system running the program of instructions to automatically generate a 3D avatar of a living being, including automatically: causing one or more sensors to generate 3D data indicative of the three dimensional shape and appearance of at least a portion of the living being; and generating a virtual character based on the 3D data that can be animated and controlled.
