Abstract
A system and method for generating a 3D personalized avatar including a computerized server, a computerized client device, a bidirectional communications channel between the server and the client device, a memory in the client device, storing 3D scan data of at least part of a user'"'"'s body, a memory in the server stores the 3D scan data received from the client device. A plurality of 3D model data sets are stored in the server memory. A gaming system selector provides information about a gaming system selected for personalized avatar generation. A personalized 3D avatar generation engine is responsive to the selected gaming system for merging the user 3D scan data with a 3D model data set. An avatar package generator generates a personalized avatar package containing the merged data. An avatar package installer in the client device receives the package and makes the personalized 3D avatar accessible to the selected gaming system.
