[sudo-discuss] self-animating CGI people with flexible personalities

[pat xu]

hey sudoers,

I met a guy named Chris Shaw about a week ago.  He is the second person
I've met at the omni who came through because of the East Bay Express
article!!! (:

Chris wants to know if anyone wants to talk with him about the code he's
developed for auto-animating emotions and speech in CGI characters.  It's
basically the next level in creating virtual CGI people with very flexible,
self-generating behavior: applications include NPCs in video games (of
course), next-gen conversation bots like AIM's SmarterChild back in the
day, and even therapeutic tools to help autistic children practice emoting.

the same tech can be used to animate animatronic robots.

He's looking for collaborators to develop applications for this tech.  If
anyone's interested in playing with the technology or has questions for Mr.
Shaw, you can contact him at: xophershaw at gmail.com !

Howl,
