Only this morning, I received a comment on a blog post suggesting that the information contained in our articles be turned into video presentations. Coincidentally, we have been working on this very thing! Enclosed below is our first effort: an animation created at xtranormal.com. This website allows you to take any printed text and turn it into a movie spoken by anyone of a number of animated characters. This site is absolutely amazing and depending on how this “test” movie is received, we will likely create more.
However, you will note that the animation is not perfect: the robot sometimes mispronounces words and, in fact, to date we have been unable to get it to say “Lemire” properly. The robots cadence and pace could use improvement in some areas. In the end, this took much longer than I would have liked to edit. Nevertheless, it is simply amazing that this technology is even available.
Please send us your comments.
