FIX8, a division of Mobinex, Inc., a leader in virtual communications technology, is taking the Presidential Race to Cyberspace, allowing voters to "dress up" as Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama or John McCain, and debate in virtual reality. FIX8 avatars move when users move, speak when they speak, and all anyone needs to join in the fun is a webcam.

"This is a historic race. We have the first African American Presidential Candidate, the first female and former First Lady, and first YouTube-hosted debate where voters submitted questions by webcam. Now with FIX8, voters can 'become' the candidates, debate live online," said VP of Marketing, Susan Nia.

FIX8's latest video, Berate & Debate Nightly News, featuring interactive avatars of the candidates reporting from a mock Indiana Primary, is now available at http://www.fix8.com/vote. It demonstrates the capabilities of FIX8's Presidential Candidate Avatar Pack that's now available for a limited time as a free download.

"FIX8's FREE software is the company's technology in its infancy," added Nia. "Imagine where virtual communications is headed. People will be able to use a webcam to map their facial features so they can literally reach out and open files on their desktop or blink to launch an application or browse the Internet. Think of how YouTube changed the Presidential Debate process. Virtual reality will change how we interact with future candidates and U.S. Presidents."

At the heart of FIX8's virtual communications technology is H.E.A.R.T. (Human Expression Analysis and Rendering Technology), which digitizes human expressions, gestures, and movements in real-time via webcam. The software works on PCs and can be used to spice up video chat across IM services including AIM, MSN, Skype and Yahoo. FIX8 videos can also be saved and posted on Facebook, MySpace, YouTube and other video sharing, comedy sites.
