Abstract
A method and system for incorporating a personalized wireframe image within a computer software application. The method can include comparing an acquired image of a computer software application user with one or more pre-stored wireframe images in an image database. One of the pre-stored wireframe images can be selected which has image attributes similar to attributes of the acquired image. The selected wireframe image can be modified, the modification creating the personalized wireframe image of the user. Finally, the personalized wireframe image can be incorporated as a character within the computer software application. For example, the computer software application can be a computer gaming application.
