Welcome to the informational site of Integrated Virtual Networks (IVN). IVN is a communications company which has developed and patented a personal computing and communications technology known as Silhouette™.

Silhouette enables inexpensive desktop 'virtual' conferencing via the web at real-time frame rates with synchronized audio. This site illustrates how Silhouette captures your actual live video image from your arbitrary background environment, streams the captured video over the web, and transplants the captured video into a computer generated 3D (virtual) environment at real-time frame rates as your 'live avatar'.
