<3 D modeling was used to fit a representation of a couch into a rendering of the customer's living room produced after the customer had supplied the company with a photo of their living room.>

I believe the RDIM conference call mentioned 3D modeling... but an Avatar was definitely not something that was mentioned.<g> Thanks for the definition which is basically what Webster's defines it as.... "the reincarnation of a deity." Can you envision an effigy of W.C. Fields helping you shop for a new bar-blender?<g>

Your term; futuristic certainly seems apropriate. Bi-directional input and output storage servers will have to be pretty robust to handle that type of memory-laden material. How long will this 3-D modeling program take to render something of that caliber? Internet telephony transmissions are using packets of info to push the envelop of real time... but they aren't there yet.

How long will a customer have to wait before they can see a half-dozen or so of these couches situated into the rendered depiction of their digitized room. Time is of the essence and what you describe seems to be on the transmission caliber of George Jettson and his boy Ellroy shopping for new digs. Can it be that I am actually old enough to see circa 1960 futuristic-cartoon era settings come to fruition??
