Years ago, someone suggested a posing “mannequin,” a physical figure that you could hook up to your computer and pose with the Poser figure mirroring the mannequin. I doubt you could sell enough of them to make it cost effective but it would be very cool.

Intelligent, aware figures that could interact with their environment and perform simple scripted commands – walk, sit in a chair, shake hands, pick up an object etc. They would be aware of their own physical characteristics so that a 6 foot tall figure would bend when trying to go through a 5 foot tall opening. I read an article about the game Assassin’s Creed and they are doing some amazing things with physics, crowd interaction etc. in gaming.

Dynamic level of detail, where figures further from the camera are automatically replaced by lower poly meshes.
