Digimask is an avatar technology that allows a user to input a front and (optional) side digital photo of their head which then automatically creates a fully articulated 3D model of that head. This 3D model can then be used in digital applications such as video games and mobile phones. Digimask technology is the core of the EyeToy: Cameo system for Sony's video game consoles.
In 2001, Digimask was nominated for a BAFTA for Technical Innovation.
