Abstract
In this paper we present a new mobile service that enable auto-production of 3D graphics content for mobile platform. The general benefit of this service is that it enriches the content of the communication, containing a video stream of an animated avatars produced by dedicated servers controlled by the mobile end-user. The approach consists in selecting an avatar, download it on the mobile phone as a 3D object and composing the message by playing with avatar instead of typing text. Message can be enriched more by adding background to the scene and subtitles for animation sub-sequences. The tests performed show the feasibility of the proposed solution in terms of transmission cost.
