Enable Consumers to communicate through virtual characters.

The VHost Workshop™ is a brand-specific consumer-facing application that Oddcast's clients deploy to enable their visitors to customize their own VHost™ characters and messages, and publish them to galleries or email them to friends. The user-friendly interface makes personalizing characters a compelling, immersive experience that subtly reinforces the client's brand. Clients may also enable their visitors to record their own audio messages via a computer microphone or phone call and/or upload their own background graphics. The robust VHost Workshop™ admin tool enables clients to pre-screen user submissions, and offers real-time tracking across a variety of data points, including viral effectiveness.

how do I use it?
Oddcast will work in collaboration with your designers and marketing team to customize a brand-specific interface for the VHost Workshop™ that speaks to a brand's look and feel, as well as appropriate characters and audio messages. Oddcast will then work with your team to integrate the VHost Workshop™ into your website. End-users interact with the VHost Workshop™ to create unique, viral branded e-cards/messages that they may then email or post publicly.
