E3 creepy! (Project Natal - Let's Meet Milo)
This was on the news. Thought I'd share for those who missed it. Those who've tried it, say it's weird.
Not really possible yet... at least apart from pre-scripted stuff. Computers aren't so good at pretending to understand what people are saying; interpreting speech into words is one thing, but figuring out how to act on them is entirely another. There have been impressive efforts before, but not THAT good.
Other thing is speech synthesis isn't (I think) that good yet. What you're probably seeing is pre-recorded, pre-animated sequences - and, at best, the computer is guessing which one to take.
Even that aside, the reflection/\"multi-touch\" trick is quite cool and need not be faked.

Heh, they're too in love with the technology. You have to build something cool with it, too. The interface has potential, but seriously . . . if the best they could come up with to demonstrate it was \"you can catch objects\" and \"you can swirl water around\", that's a bad sign. I mean, I already have a pretty high fidelity environment in which I can do that stuff.
Now, when it's letting me use my hand as a gun or grading my handwork and magic word pronounciation before shooting lightning from my fingertips or letting me spontaneously fly by flapping my arms . . . then I might give it more attention.

Here's another NATAL vid I found. Not sure if it's real or not but it looks like what you're talking about.Drakona wrote:Heh, they're too in love with the technology.
