Put a nigh realistic face on with motion tracking eyes. Program it to recognize and answer simple questions in multiple languages like how much the stuff it's modeling costs, where's the ladies room, etc.... Give it bar code scanners in the eyes so you can bring it other items for a price check.

All these things are possible and already exist, just knit it all together...

Of course, if people did that it would only be a matter of time before they made these things mobile within the confines of the store, then they'd probably follow you around and spew ads and commercials at you...

And so is born the Spam-a-quin !

It would be pretty creepy for our generation though. Advertising or no...]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/02/28/flower-robotics-inc-s-palette-robo-mannequin/http://www.engadget.com/2005/02/28/flower-robotics-inc-s-palette-robo-mannequin/ If the mannequins can do THESE things, why not go the whole 9 yards ?
