POST BRR post not about BRR but instead about last weeks E3 show and Todays possible release of 3rd Generation iPhone....

Ok yeh so its a long title... ANYWAY, it was BRR at the weekend and i died. I might elaberate on that in another post, instead i want to talk about E3. Most of you know that E3 is the big electronic entertainment expo (see, 3 E's). Usually nothing interesting comes out of them but this year two things caught my interest. Oh and thanx to Charlie McDonald of Charlieissocoollike for making the most entertaining and truthful documentation of the show.

The First thing about the show was a small tid-bit about WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE tie in GAME. It'll be your usual puzzle solving 3D character film tie in. But hey its where the wild things are so it will be kool anyway. The developers originally working on this game imploded like many other companies at the moment so the game has been flying around between developers to get finished just adding to crazyness behind this film project. I look forward to seeing more shots from the game.



Another mind boggling thing was the Xbox Natal project that uses human gesture recognition via a 3D camera. Now thats kool for pretend driving and kung foo moves, but what amazed me was MILO. Milo is an experiment in engaging human interaction on an emotional level. The whole thing is about fooling you into interation with a computer as if another human being. Milo is a virtual boy who talks to you, throws stuff at you, encourages you to discuss why he is sad or happy. To me this is a breakthrough and i can see it leading to excellent tools for learning and revolutionising the future of how we interact with computers.




Finally its APPLE DAY, which means there is a keynote and all apple church goers have their eyes peeled for a possible new iPhone to be released... can only wait and seee.......
