Patent 6052132 Issued on April 18, 2000. Estimated Expiration Date: February 6, 2018. Estimated Expiration Date is calculated based on simple USPTO term provisions. It does not account for terminal disclaimers, term adjustments, failure to pay maintenance fees, or other factors which might affect the term of a patent.
A technique for providing a computer generated face having coordinated eye and head movement is realized by providing a computer generated movable head and at least one computer generated movable eye. The movement of the computer generated movable head and the movement of the at least one computer generated movable eye are coordinated such that the movement of the computer generated movable head follows the movement of the at least one computer generated movable eye.
