Here's a video of some students in Hong Kong that have put together the
technology to make an avatar that looks like a real person.  At the
current state of the art this is probably a high-end business; say $1,000
to get your av done.  But if you could take your av into various venues
I'll wager there are folks (for example, the one typing) that would pay
this.

Of course this does open up the market for high-quality/high-res avs of
<name your favorite movie/sports star>.

Cheers, Scott

P.S. I found intriguing the reporter's comment that the av was too much
like her so she fuzzed it up a bit.
