Game: interaction with 3D characters

I have an idea for a game. It will involve 3D models of real people and interaction with them. This game is still at the planning stage, so the design is fairly flexible -- for example, the animated characters could be head-only, torso or full body. The basic idea is that the models will be autonomous -- for example, blinking occasionally when not being interacted with. The player can then choose to perform an action: for example, they might choose to say 'boo' to the character, who will react appropriately (e.g. becoming scared then angry). This will require sound playback and lip syncing. The models will need to be generated from photos of people. Front and side shots will be available. Ideally we would need to create three versions of the game: a free web version, a paid web version (with extra characters and interactions) and a version downloadable to a mobile phone. Because it needs to work on mobiles, I think it might be best to produce all of the versions in Java, but I'm open to discussion on this. It might well be possible to develop animation files in a separate modelling tool that can then be played in sequence in the game, rather than needing to add any 3D engine to the game itself. For the purposes of this project, please bid for developing a prototype that will work with a single character (generated from photos) and five potential interactions. There will need to be two prototypes: a web-based J2SE one and a J2ME one for phones (unless we agree different technologies in the course of any discussion). Preference will be given to developers who can demonstrate that they have created web-based animations or games involving 3D rendered people/heads. The winning bidder is likely to get ongoing development work as additional characters and interactions are added to the game.
