Kafkara [Android]
Using augmented reality, you can create slightly freaky looking talking avatars with people’s faces using this free app by Clive Cox, inspired by Franz Kafka’s short story “The Metamorphosis.” Once you have a face—you can choose friends, enemies, famous people—it texture-maps the image onto a selection of, currently, three different types of bodies, one of which is a flying wasp-like creature. The avatars’ lips move when you type in speech and the app uses a radar to see what other avatars have been created nearby. It’s pretty basic at the moment, using low-polygon 3D models, but the guy’s looking for more designs, so if you’re a 3D designer who wants to showcase your work, contact him at his website.
