OC3 Entertainment’s FaceFX Product to Use Fonix VoiceIn Technology
Morrisville, North Carolina (August 31, 2005) OC3 Entertainment, a leading provider of facial animation technology in games, has announced the use of Fonix VoiceIn ™ speech recognition technology in the FaceFX product.
FaceFX is used to rapidly generate facial animation data from audio dialogue. By integrating Fonix VoiceIn technology, FaceFX will generate more realistic animation and will take advantage of VoiceIn’s native support for the following languages: US English, UK English, French, Italian, Spanish, German, Korean, and Japanese. In addition to creating more advanced tools for game developers, the partnership between OC3 Entertainment and Fonix is significant because the two companies are working together to provide a real-time facial animation solution that will put a new face on in-game voice chatting.
“VoiceIn is giving us the best facial animation results we’ve ever seen,” says Doug Perkowski, CEO of OC3 Entertainment. “And the additional languages supported by VoiceIn will let foreign language and localized games have the same great facial animation as their English counterparts.”
“Fonix is excited to be working with OC3 to demonstrate yet another innovative use of our speech recognition technology,” says Tim K. Hong, VP, Fonix Games. “OC3 has done a great job of utilizing Fonix VoiceIn to increase the realism of the game experience. We are pleased with the way game developers are using our speech tools to enhance games and keep them cutting edge. The industry is really advancing because of new technologies from companies like OC3 and Fonix.”
