<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font color="black" face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">surely face robot would

I doubt they have it set up to efficiently manipulate captured animation, which
is an area face robot distinguishes itself?<br>
<br>
one thing that was interesting was it appeared to capture the jiggle of that
guys lips when he shook quickly.<br>
very nice indeed.<br>
