PhotoSpeak Breathes Life into Still Photos

MotionPortrait’s amazing PhotoSpeak 2.0 takes iPhone apps to the next level. The image-processing technology turns photos into “living, breathing” 3-D movies on your iPhone screen.

Interact with your “avatar” by prodding the screen with your finger—you’ll see your image blink and move—or make it speak by recording your own voice. The Visual Voicemail feature lets you send avatar messages to friends. Users can even manipulate celebrity photos and cartoon characters to create parrot-like avatars—because who hasn’t wondered what it would be like to see the Mona Lisa speaking Japanese?
