What do you guys think about Facial Recognitio?n and Voice Modulation? Is this the future of chat in MMORPGs?
Weel the tech is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vG6GK6Oo58c and the idea looks very cool

That is 100% awesome.
Combine this with the goggles from the .Hack series and it would be perfection!
Cool tech, but personally I don't like playing with a camera pointed at me.
Why does everything keep coming up SOE? it's like they've been silent for years then boom, "oh hi remember me?!".

There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

Did the guy in the video scare anyone else or just me?
The tech looks pretty cool. I read an article somewhere that a kinect type system had been developed for the PC now.
Very interesting stuff. I can definitely see how this could add to the roleplaying aspect of the genre.
When all has been said and done, more will have been said than done.
It's a cool idea, but it looked funky. Even if it is just beta it just looked like his character was just opening and shutting their mouth. The eye blinking was cool and head movement too.
The future of MMOs depends on upgrading infrastructure to allow higher rates of data transfer. Imagine thousands of users able to change the virtual world in real time, think minecraft on steroids.
With more and more people activating Android and iOS Tablets compared to PS3s and Xbox 360s, the future of MMO gaming may very well be tablets.
Yes he creeped me out. I was afraid he was going to demo a new technology and then say, " And you! I can see you! You are wearing a red shirt! And nooooow? WATCH THIS! " and he reaches through the screen and touches me inappropriately while I scream in holy terror and go hide in the garage holding my power drill.
Anyways I dont see myself using the camera mode often or at all. But the voice stuff is great. I love the implimentation of having the characters mouth move while you speak. Of course thats not really quite what they were doing here. I like the way Arma 2 does it. I really do. I dreamt of that kind of thing when I was a kid.
But Id love to see more of this type of thing in all kinds of gaming. Like I said I dont know about the camera thing but I would use it some and it really is darn cool I admit. But I like the idea of just speaking into the mic and seeing my avatars mouth move with my words and the voice being projected in the game world. I really love that stuff. Hope to see more of it.
That is outstanding! The tracker did a very good job on animation.
