I'm interested in getting Bright Star Technology's interFACE face animator
software, and am wondering if anyone out there has used it.  It's an
extension of their earlier product, HyperAnimator, with which many of
you may be more familiar.  Any comments about HyperAnimator would also
be appreciated.

My specific interest is with synching sampled sounds with a speaking face, for
use with speech perception experiments.  I'm concerned with how difficult it
may be to precisely link phonemes to lip movements, how convincing the
illusion of the talking head is, as well as how many different face
pitctures interFACE comes with (I don't really want to have to digitize
tons of lip positions myself.

Thanks,
