Another big opportunity is putting famous people into new situations. For example, "John Wayne" can now appear in Battlestar Galactica.

You'd load an image of the front of your face and the game would apply it to the character. No AI necessary.

They'd sure have trouble getting a trademark otherwise. Besides that, I doubt there's anyway they've got the science down to do this automatically. I imagine they're as automatic as Mahalo or the "speech-recognition" company I worked for in the late 90s that used minimum-wagers in Scotland to "verify" the automated output.

The challenge is always the user experience - how easy will it be for any user, like me to do by myself online! Is it simple? quick? automatic? scalable? Gizmoz showed they can let me do it in 3D online and JibJab offers a simple 2D version which works well.
