A virtual talking head that can express human emotions such as happiness, anger and fear could herald a new way of interacting with your computer or mobile phone. Here, a system called Zoe, developed by Toshiba's Cambridge Research Lab and and the University of Cambridge's department of engineering, is demonstrated. The face is actually that of Hollyoaks actor Zoe Lister.
