You're talking about an animated avatar that just happens to be of an actual person? And only in 2D?

For a start, yes. A proof of pricinple would be nice. Would probably look very shitty, but would use very little bandwidth.

I read about a fictional system like this in "A fire upon the deep" by Vernor Vinge a long time ago but never thought it would be feasible. There a scene of an entire room of people interacting was being deconstructed/reconstructed for a video chat using low bandwidth.
