( Cole Burston / For The Toronto Star ) After being scanned in, the software allows your avatar to live and explore in virtual worlds -- like dance parties. As digital technology becomes more immersive, one Toronto startup is working to give our physical selves better representation online. ItsMe is a virtual identity company with a mission to turn everyone into avatars. These mini representations of ourselves are then made available as gifs through the ItsMe app for sharing with friends and personalizing conversations. Software companies such as ItsMe can licence their technology across industries, from advertising to communications to retail.
