In this way if an actor is too busy playing with his friends, then he
may not need to do the stunts himself.

Unless they require closeups, and if you don't use a real actor, then
you might end up with what looks like claymation, done on the computer
instead of with clay.

Now keep in mind that you can transition between similar frames, not a
cut to scene where everything in the scene is different, but when you
transition between claymation frames, it smooths the motion.

Now I did get some flack as well from small business about what the
people do with their thing beside the monitor is their business and if
it is a marketable product well then that's their business. (saints
preserve us, and pass me the Lucky Charms, I'm headin' to the basement)

And it might be fashion, and it might be a golf swing, and it might be a
new car, and some people, the night before they buy that new car, might
want to have the best possible look at it.

I hear the cameras to film 3D cost about 20,000 today so it will be
weeks before we can get them for six hundred bucks at Walmart.

If the holographic 360 degree displays are not ready yet, you can still
go with the flat clear panel, as seen in Time Machine remake, and still
be able to see the holographic effect.
If we can't remove those clear flat screen panels yet, we can still go
ahead and do the programming. Then just remove the panels when the
prices come down on the full holography technology.

Since we are using AI and film and animation, we are creating an
interactive multi-media display. As the technology improves with the
hardware, more and more people will be involved in making content for
this new amazing little holographic world you will have right there on
your desktop.

It might be a rotating specimen, it might be Gazoo, and since it is
right beside your monitor, it can extend itself into your monitor, join
the scene instruct, then zip out with total interactivity.

No need to focus too much on the AI aspect either yet, since these
things can be scripted to begin with.

No 3D glasses, but 3D screen TV monitor, with full compliment
holographic display panel is what I want for Christmas please.

And we do have these things right now according to new reports and the
Consumer Electronic Show this year.

So we are at least on the train to our happy place, even if we still
have a ways to go.

I am not suggesting go out and buy a theremin, but I am saying give some
thought to improving the user interface, be that the mouse, remote TV
clicker, or hand signals, smaller redesigned keypad that just gives
directions very very well and very simply, since all your commands will
be for your character to go somewhere, in a pretend fashion, in a mental
image or a room or real image bitmap displayed on the screen, clicked
with a mouse. You have your bitmap of a room with objects that trigger
macros,like icons only objects that fit in a room normally, you click
the object, the gnome dances and tells you a story about a dragon.

The reasons for this are earlier in this thread.

Imagine.
