Abstract: A talking head digital identity immutable dual authentication method, comprising: publishing a talking head show, downloading talking head file, talking head show file, signature files from a server into a playback device; downloading talking head hash and talking head show hashes from a blockchain into the playback device; using a talking head and talking head show public key to validate talking head and talking head show signatures; determining whether the talking head and talking head show signatures are correct, and if correct, a talking head hash and talking head show hash are checked against hashes from the blockchain; incorporating a 3D mesh model into the talking head show; if the calculated talking head hash and the calculated talking head show hash of files from the server and the hashes of the talking head and talking head show from the blockchain match, respectively, then playback of the talking head show plays.

Abstract: A talking head digital identity immutable dual authentication method for use over a distributed network, comprising: downloading talking head and talking head show files from nodes of a distributed network; downloading hash values of a talking head and talking head show from a blockchain; sending a hash of a publisher's identification from the blockchain to a name lookup service; retrieving and confirming the identity of the publisher; recalculating hash values of the talking head and talking head show; comparing the recalculated hash values of the talking head and talking head show with the hash values of the talking head and talking head show retrieved from the blockchain; incorporating a 3D mesh model into the talking head show; starting playback of the talking head show if the hash values received from the blockchain match the recalculated hash values of the talking head and talking head show retrieved from the distributed network.

Abstract: A system and method for creating, distributing, and viewing photo-realistic talking head based multimedia content over a network, comprising a server and a variety of communication devices, including cell phones and other portable wireless devices, and a software suite, that enables users to communicate with each other through creation, use, and sharing of multimedia content, including photo-realistic talking head animations combined with text, audio, photo, and video content. Content is uploaded to at least one remote server, and accessed via a broad range of devices, such as cell phones, desktop computers, laptop computers, personal digital assistants, and cellular smartphones.
