Lionhead Details Xbox 360's Virtual Child Milo
by Chris Faylor, Jun 01, 2009 12:16pm PDTShowcasing the capabilities of the new Xbox 360 Project Natal camera controller, which includes voice and motion-recognition functionality, Fable 2 developer Lionhead Studios showed a video demonstrating a virtual child called Milo.
Able to recognize facial expressions and vocal emotions, Milo chatted with real-life demonstrator Claire. Milo also threw her a pair of goggles (which she automatically grabbed for and then "put on"). Later, Milo grabbed a piece of paper that Claire held in front of the camera for a mere instant.
Another aspect saw Claire splashing around virtual water in real-time.
Studio founder Peter Molyneux boasted that these were concepts even science fiction writers haven't been able to dream up, and that the technology is here, now.
That software will be shown behind closed doors this week.

plus it was all simulated anyways. the "kid" was looking to the side at the girl to make the camera vantage point seem like he is looking at the girl. but a character on screen does not look like its looking at you unless its looking STRAIGHT ahead since the tv screen is 2d, not 3d.
