This is a truly incredible run down of what is possible with current video game technology and development. For the Xbox’s new Kinect controller they have developed this new “game”. I feel like I’m living in the future when I see stuff like this. This is what ‘Back to the Future”, “iRobot”, and “Minority Report” pictured “the future” as. I think I know what console I’ll be purchasing shortly.
“I wanted to recreate the feeling I had as a four-year-old boy when my father told me a story about a robot. Films, TV, even hallowed books, are just rubbish because they don’t involve me,’ he said. ‘It’s a sea of blandness. After three-quarters of a hour, he recognizes you. I can promise you that if you are sitting in front of this screen, that is a truly wonderful moment.” – Developer Peter Molyneux
This totally creeped me out. He recognized the inflections in her voice and everything! A.I. is moving fast now. It seems like everybody is staring to accept this type of technology as more and more of an everyday occurrence. I saw a video the other day that even the military has developed A.I. characters much like Milo to help carry out Military exercises. I'll post the link if you want to feel even weirder about virtual humans!
