4 ideas

1) A "name pronounciation" tool that provides likely pronounciation for a persons name. Handy for telemarketers.

2) A DB of recordings of people's names. Like "George", "Tom", etc. To be used in video games, to personalize the game. Maybe a tool to merge the name to mimick the pronounciation used by the current voice actor. So, if script of game says: "Hello, %S, how are you.", the name could be injected from there.

3) A system to allow a person to take a digital picture of themself and replace the face in a first person shooter. So whenever there is a scene where you see the main character, the player actually sees themself.

4) A web tool/survey to predict how financially sucessful a person is likely to be. Would be nice to know if Wayne is as good as he says he is.
