Welcome to the informational Site of Integrated Virtual Networks (IVN). IVN is a communications company which, for several years, has been quietly developing and patenting a personal computing and communications technology currently referred to as Silhouette™ for use exclusively in our portal-of-portals called the Nexos™.

Silhouette is designed for two principal applications:

1) inexpensive desktop video-conferencing via the web at real-time frame rates with synchronized audio and
2) capture of live foreground video image data from an arbitrary background environment, streaming of the captured video over the web at real-time frame rates, and transplantation of the captured image into a computer generated 3D (virtual) environment as a 'live avatar'.
