Oh my! There's an other one at the near end of the movie!

Horror movies machines were not designed to display facial expressions synchronous to autonomous speech.
Second, this is a interactive device [Eva], unlike horror flicks.
That is what makes this news.



I wonder how many servos he used for the face?

The cell phone ringing was extrememly annoying.

I especially enjoyed the "sulk" face and gritting of the teeth (whatever that was supposed to be...I guess anger?)

It sounded like two voices were talking at the same time, which was annoying.

Also if you darken her skin a bit, maybe widen her head just a little(its a little thin), and throw some headband, and just below head length hair...and call her Alyx ....with the demo they showed like at E3 2003...where they show the emotion/facial expressions off.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/eva-the-android-and-the-creepy-robot-pirates/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/26/eva-the-android-and-the-creepy-robot-pirates/
Is Eva recognizing and reacting to facial expressions of the person in front of it? Or is it merely a horrible attempt to mimic common facial expressions?

Either way it's visually horrid and will indeed haunt me for a while. I've decided not to spend the money on that Real Doll.
