Los Angeles-based Big Stage Entertainment, which is developing technology for creating 3D avatars, debuted its technology at CES at the Intel keynote earlier this week. Luis Villalobos, founder of the Tech Coast Angels, this evening pointed me to the webcast of the keynote for anyone who is interested in seeing the video of their demo. Big Stage’s demo starts around 32 minutes into the keynote, and goes for about 11 minutes. Their technology also powers the “virtual band” behind Smash Mouth singer Steven Hartwell later in the keynote. (Big Stage is a spinout of USC).

btw, Big Stage is getting some good mention in the “rest of the world”:

• CIA Technology Willl Map Your Face (Rafe Needleman)
• Intel Continues with Big Stage avatar (Dean Takahashi, Mercury News)
• Intel’s Paul Otellini says let’s make the Internet personal (SFGate)
