Xbox 360 - Kinect (Project Natal) - Milo stage demo

Milo:
The Dimitri Project was the codename for a video game by Lionhead Studios that for many years had an unknown status, before surfacing in 2009 as the technology demo "Milo" for Microsoft's Project Natal.[1]

Work on The Dimitri Project started in 2001 after Lionhead had finished work on Black & White, and had been reported as being cancelled, however a 2006 interview with Peter Molyneux confirmed that that was not the case.[2] Development on Dimitri was again reported as stopped with reports that the game never got to a "full-team" stage. It was reported that Dimitri had been replaced by a second project, Project X, which may lean on aspects of Dimitri but is distinct.

In an interview with Eurogamer at E3 in June 2009 Peter Molyneux confirmed that The Dimitri Project had become the "Milo" technical demo used to demonstrate Microsoft's Project Natal which was shown at that years E3. Milo is a living AI that reacts to body movements and facial expressions. Milo is a program that recognises people, introduces himself to new people, and allows people to have a conversation with him. Drawing pictures on paper and holding to "Natal" allows it to scan the image and create a representative onscreen that Milo can give his opinion on and interact with as a real drawing. that for many years had an unknown status, before surfacing in 2009 as the technology demo "Milo" for Microsoft's Project Natal.

Project Natal:
(pronounced "nuh-tall" is the code name for a "controller-free gaming and entertainment experience" by Microsoft for the Xbox 360 video game platform. Based on an add-on peripheral for the Xbox 360 console, Project Natal enables users to control and interact with the Xbox 360 without the need to touch a controller, such as through body gestures or spoken commands.

The project is aimed at broadening the Xbox 360's audience beyond its hardcore base of young males. Project Natal was first announced on June 1 at the 2009 Electronic Entertainment Expo. Release pricing and timing have not been announced, but the device is not expected to be available until at least 2010.

An approximately nine-inch wide horizontal bar connected to a circular base with a ball joint pivot, the Project Natal sensor is designed to be positioned lengthwise above or below the video display. The sensor features a "RGB camera, depth sensor, multi-array microphone, and custom processor running proprietary software," which provide full-body 3D motion capture, facial recognition, and voice recognition capabilities.

The "Project Natal" sensor's microphone array enables the Xbox 360 to conduct multi-directional voice location tracking and ambient noise suppression, allowing for things such as headset-free party chat over Xbox Live. The depth sensor consists of an infrared projector combined with a monochrome CMOS sensor, and allows the Project Natal sensor to see in 3D under any lighting conditions.

@iani103 The point in artificial intelligence is not to replace people but instead to prove the technology we are capable of and to show it to others and be amazed.
