I meant to post this a while back,but it got lost in the rush of E3 news. But this still blows me away and I am still talking about it. In conjunction with Microsoft’s announcement of Project Natal at E3 this year,Lionhead Studios (of Black &White and Fable fame) demoed a project that they had been working on to work with Natal called Milo. Well,it’s not really a project. It’s more of a boy,in a virtual world. But that’s not just it,it’s even simple terms,magical. The system is powerful enough and smart enough to allow the boy to recognize different people,talk to them in a very human-like manner,but beyond that,the boy is able to both detect and display visual and vocal emotions. He displays worry when stressed,or coy when he is lying. Even more magical is the transfer of data from the real world into the virtual world. When Clair looks into the water,you can see her reflection as she moves,the clothes she is wearing,everything. Beyond that,the recognition and transmission of the drawing is just mind-blowing. I can honestly say that this is the biggest revolution in gaming,and one I am eager to play with.
