Molyneux shows Project Milo tech demo, features motion/voice interaction

Peter Molyneux today revealed Milo.

The game, developed by Lionhead, features a boy called Milo. This is Lionhead's self-professed "big" presentation.

Shown in a video demonstration at Microsoft's Keynote was an incredibly realistic boy who came up to the screen and talked with the player, using Microsoft's newly announced voice activated motion camera.

Players can interact with the boy, both through speech and through motion. It's like your very own boy in the room with you. He can even recognise your emotions in your voice...and in your facial expressions.

The player also used the motion camera to interact with water on screen, which actually featured her reflection.

It was all incredibly impressive, but whether it'll be fun is another matter. The graphics might remind you of Heavy Rain.

The bar both graphically and in motion control interaction appears to be have been challenged by both Microsoft and Lionhead at this year's E3 Expo.



That marks the end of Microsoft's E3 Press Conference and our coverage. We hope you had fun and when we know more, we'll bring it to you.
