Image Metrics Inc (CE) (IMGX) Quote

Wonder if this is going to be an end of year dividend year.

2017 was .0265 per share

What do you think?

But now this is fairly exciting...

...and this...

...and this...

...and many other beauty websites. This is after IM dropped the Makeover Mirror app onto i-tunes where it then quickly disappeared, I'm assuming at L'Oreal's request.

I don't blame you. I'm starting to feel a little screwed myself. It seems like they sold Faceware and are working hard to nurture that to no shareholder benefit. Ron is now CEO at both companies and this seems to me to be a HUGE conflict of interest. It's obvious where the time and attention is being put.

The Faceware website is constantly being updated and revamped with news and links and articles. The homepage is currently bragging about GTA V accolades and working with Stallone and De Niro. Apparently, you can even unlock a copy of our Live Driver SDK within Faceware.

I'm not sure what to think. Their last attempt at communication was way back in November of 2012. I'm starting to get the impression that they would just prefer to pretend that we're not here. As much as I hate to say it, something smells fishy...

I have given up and sold yesterday. Bought Hypersolar that is doing a nut job on investors. Good luck with IMGX.

"Facial tracking powered by Image Metrics' Live Driver"

Thanks for the dd. Did you contact the company?

They sure have been quiet. Too quiet! I hope something is still churning at IM headquarters since RG left. The market for real time animation software is increasing. I found this awhile back talking about Image Metrics collaborating with Mixamo back in 2011...

http://blog.mixamo.com/mixamo/partners/image-metrics-gives-demo-at-mixamo/

Then Image metrics sells a patent back in 2012...

http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/image-metrics-reports-select-financial-results-the-first-nine-months-of-2012-1699563.htm

Then Mixamo suddenly comes out with competitive software in 2013...

http://allthingsd.com/20130828/mixamo-aims-to-democratize-motion-capture-keep-dots-off-peoples-faces/

And then I found this today which looks fairly impressive...

http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-57616975-1/facerig-maps-your-face-onto-a-3d-avatar-in-real-time/

Competition is a good sign in markets. I would just like to know if Image Metrics is still competing. It's quiet. Too quiet!

Anything new?

Will Image Metrics gain by this?

Faceware’s Jay Grenier Talks About Motion Capture In Games, Console Limitations, Future of Tech And More

Jay Grenier: We’ve got some huge things coming in 2013 that we’re really excited about. Working closely with Image Metrics gives us first dibs on the new tech they are developing and we’re working on a full integration of their next-gen facial tracking and animation tech into Faceware. There’s so much more room to grow and so much more to do. The sky is the limit for this technology.

That would be nice. Is a bit still around here.

Mojo Masks being put to use...

And yet another app...

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mojo-masks-chinese-new-year/id595439474?mt=8

I assume this is due to the popularity of Mojo Masks in the Asian market.

Another app released today from Image Metrics.

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id594024913?mt=8

Looks pretty lame but I imagine they can now spit this kind of stuff out for very little cost and that some of the intent is simply to steer people in the direction of Mojo Masks.

More Mojo Masks press...

Name drop: One of TBE's executive producers is Jennifer Lopez.

RG: I or Ron will get back to you some time next week either in writing or via phone. We'll answer what what is appropriate to answer at this time.

First I want to know if there is any interest to spark the 'older' investors in some way. The difference between the shareprice and the last raise price for capital is too big. Why is that?

I let you know what he says.

What are you already planning on asking? Here's a few of mine...

How actively are they looking to be acquired? Are they pursuing a buyer or just waiting to catch one's attention?

How is SoeMote being received? Is SOE happy with the community response?

Any nuggets about more video game integration. He did mention poker in the YouTube video.

Have they killed the FaceOff brand?

How long before an Android version of Live Driver?

What was the patent they sold earlier this year?

Do they still do animation for 3rd party contracts and projects like Benjamin Button and GTAIV?

Mojo Masks featured on Wired's Geekdad website...

http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2012/10/2-silly-apps-for-halloween-fun/

Yes, I got contacted by him through Linkdin. Just post your questions here and i will make sure he gets it.

I'm assuming RG is Robert Gehorsam. What do you mean by "I got a lead in"? How are you contacting him? When are you submitting questions? Nice initiative Skidos!

I got a lead in from RG. I will send him some questions about the company. Let me know yours and post them here.

I don't know. Apple does not release those numbers.

How many downloads translate this in? Thx

Mojo Masks is rapidly moving up the iTunes charts...

Every parent with an i-device will be coughing up $5 so their kids can have all the masks.

On a side note, I'm wondering if they killed the Face Off brand. I can't get the website to open...

Interesting. Shall we buy more shares?

Mojo Masks just launched yesterday and is directly owned by Image Metrics. It offers in-app purchases and looks like an attention getter...

https://itunes.apple.com/app/mojo-masks/id567788500?mt=8

Facebook page with 30 'likes'. It's a start...

https://www.facebook.com/mojomasks

Nice. Not sure I like it but who knows what other think of it.

I believe this is one of the applications currently being developed on IOS using the Live Driver SDK. It's called Mojo Masks and is supposed to be available within the coming weeks.

Great find Skidos. I especially like his reaction to SoEmote "getting a tremendous response".

New Video with Robert Gehorsam

I agree. There are a lot of uses for Image Metrics' tech. It's not just about animating faces; it's about computer vision and recognition.

I was just thinking...

What if those 2 companys work together and could gain information on how we feel as we look at ads? Seeing the difference between a happy face and a 'not interested' face.

http://immersivelabs.com/company/press?layout=blog

Check out the video.

Those are old videos uploaded no so long ago, I think.

Back in June, I said this...

"Otherwise, you just get a bubble (which isn't a horrible thing) like what occurred with Digital Domain (DDMG) and their Tupac hologram. They release a lot of press but the fact is they're losing a lot of money annually. I think IMGX is going for something more substantial than hype."

...and today I saw this...

http://money.cnn.com/2012/09/11/technology/digital-domain-bankrupt/index.html?section=money_topstories&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%

This is the company that Image Metrics coordinated with on the movie "The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button"

Just some food for thought.

That is an pretty good deal. Investors buying shares at 2.88 is nuts!! That's why they don't reference the tickersymbol, imo. Much easier to raise money on better terms.

The decline in revenue is not good but as a shareholder my focus is on LiveDriver. Thanks for posting this. I always seems to miss it.

http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/image-metrics-reports-select-financial-results-the-first-nine-months-of-2012-1699563.htm

"...the Company successfully converted $9.5 million of senior preferred secured debt into 3.3 million shares of its convertible Series B preferred stock..."

Yes it's dilution, but dilution at $2.88 per share which would value the company at $62.2 million.

"As a result, the balance sheet as of June 30, 2012, had total liabilities of $1.5 million compared to $12.6 million at Sept. 30, 2011."

They have nearly eliminated all of their debt. Profitability is just around the corner...

"Revenues in the nine-month period ended June 30, 2012, included $1.2 million from the sale of a patent."

I would like to know what patent they sold...

This is a big step toward mass integration...

New SOEmote advertisement...

MMORPGs are just the beginning...

I hope you are right. I will buy more shares when this play out more and more. I just wonder how fast other MMORPG company's will take notice and start generating cash for Image Metrics.
