Abstract
Avatar animation may be enhanced to reflect emotion and other human traits when animated to read messages received from other users or other messages. A message may be analyzed to determine visual features associated with data in the message. The visual features may be depicted graphically by the avatar to create enhanced avatar animation. A text-based message may include indicators, such as punctuation, font, words, graphics, and/or other information, which may be extracted to create the visual features. This information may be used to select visual features as special animation, which may be implemented in animation of the avatar. Examples of visual features include animations of laugher, smiling, clapping, whistling, and/or other animations.
