METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING AND USING THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGES SUBSTITUTED FOR USER ON CYBER-SPACE

摘要

PURPOSE: A method and an apparatus providing for providing and using tree-dimensional images substituted for a user on a cyber-space are provided to improve a reality of a cyber-space by using directly a user's image. CONSTITUTION: A user stores his own two-dimensional image to a PC by using a scanner or a digital camera. The user selects only his own face by using a graphic application and stores the selected image to the PC. The image file is stored as a Pict file or a JEPG file or a BMP file or a GIF file or a TIFF file. The user's PC is connected with a main server(11) by using a modem. The user requests the publication of an ID to the main server(11). The user inputs general information and his image to the main server(11). The main server(11) manufactures the user's three-dimensional image. The user receives a password and the ID from the main server(11).
