Forums - Gaming - Was Project Natal Faked?

Yea, while looking at it the video it does seem like it is a little faked since her hand aren't pointing to the left yet.

Natal can sense your movements before you make them. At 2:37 there is a ripple in the water on the left hand side of the screen and then Claire puts her hand up there. Natal can read your mind and is much more impressive than any motion controls that I've ever seen.

How about this: How long before Natal becomes self-aware and sends a T-800 back in time to kill Sarah Connor?

Hmm interesting. There still is a lot of speculation that the Milo thing was all scripted... especially considering it wasn't a live demo on stage. But it'll probably never come to fruition if it is or isn't.

I'm sure NATAL works but not as great as they had explained it. And Milo, well that's just another very creepy story.

"I sat down while my MTV Multiplayer blog successor Russ Frushtick tried the next part of the Milo demo. He stood in front of the TV as Milo approached him and then, using his hands to make goggles over his face, he initiated an EyeToy-style novelty. He waved his hands to make the water ripple. "

"Once Claire's portion was over, we took Milo out for a spin. For my part, I walked with Milo over to the pier, grabbed the goggles that he threw at me, performatively snatching at the air, having already seen the video during the earlier keynote presentation. To put them "on" I had to make loops with my thumbs and pointer fingers and wrap them around my eyes. A guide on the bottom of the screen instructed me to make them just so. Goggles on, I leaned over the pier and splashed a reflection of myself in the water. I could drag a finger around or make a larger splash with my hand. I could even ripple the water by "lowering" my head towards the screen. And that was about it for my section (see above: brief!). But the most impressive thing I saw happened next."

Oh ok.  This guy blogged about the water part being faked in the video, but here we have quotes from people who actually used it.  I see now.

WHAT THE HELL WAS THE MOVIE AI PETE HUH? How about Skynet? I'm sure there are a lot more examples of people interacting with artificial intelligence. (iRobot)

"This wasn't acted. Everyone whos experienced this reaches down because the feel so connect to milo"

Why the hell did she have her hands up like she was ready to catch something if it wasn't scripted!

"This is true technology that science fiction hasn't even written about"

Grrr.... I don't care if it was fake but petey was annoying.

I think you have the right of it. Video fake (or poorly edited, or whatever), tech demo real. But I don't think quoting yourself is going to do much to help your credibility. :-p

Perhaps he wanted to bump his post so people would actually read information rather than just ignoring it and carrying on with misinformation.  Even if the video was scripted there are numerous reports out there of people who played the demo and confirmed it worked really well as was demonstrated.

she started moving her hand...and the water rippled...so her hand doesnt need to be fully extended to recognize her intention.
