I got tricked!
A few of my comments on tonight's guest speaker, Micheal Lew. His Office Voodoo project is an interesting concept, but definitely creepy! The cabinet that people sit inside to watch the video was definitely Silent Hill-ish, I dunno if I'd want to be in there for any long period of time. :D I would like to see project progress if new ways of tracking sensations are present. The idea of being able to interact further, such as "tickle" the voodoo doll and get a response from the video would definitely be interesting, but also would complicate the program maybe even tenfold. For every one new sensation you add into the system, let's say 10 new scenes need to be filmed. And can the database remain seamless and the film still look real if it has to search through X more files to find the appropriate response? Also, might it be interesting to record the user's emotional responses to the video they are watching? Feedback into how the users who are interacting with the system, what they are feeling, is very interesting to me!
Now some off topic personal notes.
ALL FFXI servers died tonight! *cry* Enki is not thrilled at being locked out of the game all night!
Here are some images that my friend Wafik sent me. :D

The trick? They're all CG! :/ I got fooled, I thought they were real at first glance!
