1. A computer implemented method comprising:
receiving, by a first computing device, first data defining features and movements of a human subject;
capturing, by the first computing device, a video image of an object having features corresponding to human features, wherein the object is a physical three-dimensional (3D) object;
positioning and orienting, by the first computing device, a 3D mesh representation of the physical object in registration with the video image of the physical object;
mapping, by the first computing device, features defined by the first data to corresponding features on the 3D mesh representation of the object; and
using, by the first computing device, the first data to animate the corresponding features of the object so as to correspond with the movements of the human subject defined by the first data.
