SELECTED PROJECTS

"TALKING SCALE” FOR BUSCH GARDENS
Using the company’s SpokesMannequin technology, PeopleVisionFX has created a
“Talking Scale” for the Busch Gardens theme park. The character is an updated
version of the classic “guess your weight” midway game. For the Talking Scale,
there is a live actor in a remote studio that can hear and see the audience. Guests are invited to test the Scale’s ability to guess their weight, age, or
birthday. The actor’s features and voice are projected using a larger than life
dimensional screen from PeopleVisionFX. In this way, the character can be
interactive with the guests, for instance: groaning when they step on the scale
and reacting when he guesses wrong and the game has to pay-off.
TRANSNATIONAL SECURITY GROUP
PeopleVisionFX has recreated Ben Franklin for its client
Transnational Security Group. The animated character was produced using
PeopleVisionFX’s SpokesMannequin technology. The figure, which was created for a
trade show presentation in Philadelphia, used a three-dimensional video signal
that was matched with a dimensional screen. The resulting image accurately
presented the voice, likeness and every nuance of facial expression recorded
from a live performer playing the role of Franklin.

NASA
PeopleVisionFX created an Astronaut SpokesMannequin for NASA, to be used
for traveling exhibits and at the Kennedy Space Center. The character is a

information about Kennedy Space Center, and the overall NASA mission itself.
