Project NATAL - Milo - Amazing AI:


oO

Someone posted the first video before, but not the second.

But wow, if it's really THAT real, then... they're really discouraging having real friends! LLOL!!

Yeah, who needs friends when you can talk to Milo.

I liked the Milo video, that was really neat o:

Milo thing is really cool but xD its like... I laughed when she said "Did you finish your homework?"

WOW now thats crazy.

both videos were already posted in gamers worldx]

I found Milo creepy when I watched the press conference live. Go outside and make friends. Talking to a computer 10 year old is creepier than going out to a park and talking to a random 10 year old, and the latter is pretty creepy as well.

I don't usually look there because people post about a new game without any links to the actual game...


and it seems like quite a few missed it so whatever.

Excellent. I've always wanted to keep small children in a box for sheer entertainment purposes.

Hra that was WRONG funny but WRONG

It was hilarious

Funny but wrong...I think that's a nice distillation of my sense of humor.

Must... not... laugh in class.

I think I do say that a lot about your humor now that I think about it.

It fits you to a T...

Hrae your Micheal Jackson O.o....Milo would be his dream..

IF that box was his bedroom, then yes :devil:

whoaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

please see response to Hra earlier.

:D :zomg:

Hey now...I didn't imply anything sexual, LOL. Sensory deprivation, hallucinogen reaction, extremes of hot and cold...there are all sorts of nifty things you can do with a person in a box that doesn't involve sex.


Edit: Looks like Project Natal better kick it in gear before they have a lawsuit from the NAACP.

That's the full URL. Maybe C&Ping will get it. Take off the bracket, of course.

just comes up with a blank screen and it says done.

Project Natal struggles with dark skinned people

Project Natal has been receiving high mark in terms of innovative technology and unique ideas. However, not all is well with the concept, or so it would seem. During E3, N’Gai Croal wasn’t having as easy of a time with Natal during a Paradise test drive.

Dan Hsu on Bitmod describes: “When game consultant and former Newsweek writer N'Gai Croal gave Paradise a test drive, however, the game had trouble reading his steering actions. The footwork (gas and brakes) worked fine, but Croal couldn't steer his car at all. It wasn't clear whether this was a problem of calibration differences between Tsunoda and Croal's very different body types, or if Croal's crazy dreadlocks threw Natal off. But it was working just fine when Tsunoda was at the "wheel."”

Different body types? Could Natal be so sensitive that certain body structures and physical builds throw off the calibration of the camera? That’s certainly a possibility or is it that the camera simply had a hard time detecting Croal because of his skin color? This is actually quite possible. In a test report of Near-infrared spectroscopy, the technology does have a problem detecting darker skinned individuals.

In the report: "The NIRS device failed to register tissue saturation values at some point in nine of seventeen volunteers. This occurred more often in individuals with darker skin. Conclusions. In patients with a dark pigmented skin, NIRS StO2 measurements should be interpreted with caution, as melanin clearly interferes with the quality of the reflected NIRS signal."

Hopefully, the development team is aware of this situation and finds a solution. This could be catastrophic if not taken care of immediately.

wow. lol

Sorry you can't use NATAL cause you're too... uuuummmm too.... uuummmm your.... uuuummmm...

uuuummmmmm......different?

EDIT: Definitely not a good substitute

I can just see Microsofts head Q&A guy going, "Dammit! Black people! I knew we forgot something..."

VP's across Microsoft slamming their head on their desk saying :hulksmash::hulksmash: "Why is this the first time I'm hearing about this?!?!?!?!" :hulksmash::hulksmash:

And then they're getting on the phone with Human Resources, "Quick! Hire some black people for the Q&A team!"

xD
