Ahah! So this is the new product that C/L was teasing us about last week. Interesting... but I can't see this Atmosphere thing ever taking off bigtime. Most people don't know it, but Microsoft has had this "3D avatar" technology built-in to every operating system since Win95 (but they finally abandoned it with XP for lack of interest). The technology was not only for 3D avatars (Merlin, Clippit, Genius etc. are examples which came with MS Office) but it also included very sophisticated text-to-speech generation capability - and with free, downloadable software form MS you could build your own characters, animations etc. and use them on a web page. There was a flury of activity with the technology a few years back, but nothing ever came of it. Although I see Atmosphere as a cute gimmick, I can't imagine how it could be used for more than child amusement. Now if C/L would develop a product like this for full-blown Poser figures... WOW!
