It would be cool to develop an iPad app where you could create a cartoon or comic with your voice. Something like “The bear jumps out of the bushes and says ‘Boo!'”. On the other hand, this app would have freelance developers and designers who would teach the characters various actions. Such actions could be purchased through something like an app store, which would provide bread and butter for the designers and developers, and joy for the children (and sadness for the parents, but that’s beside the point). The final video could be uploaded to YouTube in just a couple of clicks. It could start with 2D (although it would be 3D under the hood), though implementing the render on the tablet in 3D is not very complicated. For simplicity, at the start, the number of “characters” would be limited (like Masha and the Bear), as would the environment options (furniture, etc.). The basic set would include interaction of all characters with the entire environment and the ability to recognize intent from the speech of the person “programming” the cartoon. This is the trickiest part because the interaction needs to be quite complex. Moreover, you can approach a table or a chair from different sides. This can be said in various ways. The trick is that the user will speak what should happen. To combat this complexity, a community is needed. As soon as something doesn’t work as intended, immediately there appears a cheap package that makes it work. The user connects it – and voila. The developing company periodically buys packages and includes them in the free set. To prevent the local app store from overflowing with junk, quality standards and quality control by other designers and developers, recognized by the company as fair, are introduced. If, in parallel, another cartoon is launched on TV on the same theme or an already popular one is used (like Masha and the Bear, but in this case royalties would be huge), would it be successful?
