Abstract
Recently, using communication via the internet has increased significantly. The idea aims
to add more fun to the traditional methods of communication, and it is expected to be
welcomed by users.
The project is an Android application. It enables users to communicate with each other,
whether through traditional voice calls and text conversations or using an animated
character to make a video call, where each user picks a certain character and the face of the
chosen character will behave based on the face and emotion of the user. In addition to a
website to hold video conversations in the same way. But without Sign in or specify the
identity of the person, the talks will be anonymous.
The project will be accomplished using the Java language, mainly for the Android
application. In addition to the use of specialized image processing libraries in the face
recognition and analyzing. The cartoon characters (Avatars) will be created using a 3d tool
and animated using the libGDX framework. Finally, for the website, we will use HTML,
JS, AJAX and PHP.
At this stage, the project was completed as planned. So that users can make a cartoon call
between them without the need to transfer video, just the emotions have to be transferred
in the form of textual commands.
