This is exactly what we do today! It seems to work better the more you extend it, but extending it too much introduces other side effects (e.g. the avatar will start to open its mouth, as if it were preparing to talk).
Hmm, maybe adding white noise would work. -- OK, that's quite enough unsolicited suggestions from me up in the peanut gallery. Nice job on the website, it's impressive, thank you for not requiring a sign up.

#113Amazing work! This technology is only going to improve. Soon there will be an infinite library of rich and dynamic games, films, podcasts, etc. - a totally unique and fascinating experience tailored to you that's only a prompt away.

Overall, crazy impressive compared to competing offerings.
