Viva and Kinectamils don't to have much in common.


Oh yeah, there are animals in both....


If you can resist the cutness of Kinectimals you must be a monster!

It looks like amazing technology, kind of a version of Kismet that's generations ahead. Can't help but wonder though; the interaction was just so smooth, maybe most of this demo was choreographed in advance? The way she didn't miss a beat to pick up the paper and make a drawing on it - then when she waved it in front of the screen Milo recognized it before he would even had a chance to actually look at it. Staged.

Anyways, this will be great for the next generation of socially stunted TV kids that don't have any friends. They won't even know they're lonely.

I can just be SO NEGATIVE!

The last thing I see when I watch this..is the gaming possibilities.
I see technology that has probably been known about for decades, yet just released as such.
I see how it could be used for defense purposes..perhaps even to make people believe in UFO's and Aliens.

Seen that one?

Oh I am sure they will get around to "faking aliens" to screw with us someday. The good thing is, I will be busy playing a video game and so not get sucked into the whole mess of trickery.

Who knows, perhaps Obama is an interactive character.

Well I'll be getting one of these. I won't be using Milo though. If you saw his first demonstration if you didn't know any better you would think he was an AI....

Yes it is exorcise in your home. You must not have seen it yet! If you did you would know how cool it is...
