Floating singing lips are creepy[/URL] but seeing a robotic head with dark soul sucking eyes (that double as cameras) try to sing might be just as bad. Especially when she's horribly shrieky and a little too realistic.
Developed by Chyi-Yeu Lin, the robot head can look at a sheet of music with her eye-cameras and then extract the "pitch, rhythm, and lyrics from that image". She translates that info, sends it to a voice synthesizer and belts out the song. Watch her sing her head off here: [URL="http://gizmodo.com/5830923/index.php?op=showcustomobject&postId=5830923&item=0"]Click to view[/URL]
The people who developed this head are hoping she can become a receptionist at restaurants. Uhh... [[URL="http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/onepercent/2011/08/creepy-robot-head-reads-music.html"]New Scientist[/URL]]

ninja'd!!
why must every human-like robot be CREEPY AS HELL
is it a design requirement or a law or something? seriously
I am rather conflicted in this.
Although I do want to see continuous advancement in recreating facial movement, Is it really necessary to create that realistic a bust in order to function as a receptionist?
Why not create something that resembles a human head but does not distract the customer.

It's Asian, it's what they do best.

This hasn't even reached the uncanny valley. Miles away from it.

to be fair, I initially assumed it was Japanese without thinking too

Nope, it's an instinctive response where whenever I hear the words "creepy" and "Robot" I think of Japan.

You may of got it confused with Vocaloid, The girl that starts with "H", you must never speak of her on FP
Why are the eyes so wide on it though, it's horrible
Just make it a robot with a functioning voice box, artificial human faces are freaky.

I'd prefer this.

I'd think people that are comfortable with technology are more likely to trust a machine than a human anyways.
A machine can be both seen as incredibly smart but at the same time not threateningly smart.
I think we should figure out how to make lifelike masks before trying to apply masks to robots
I know I'm usually all "hey, scientific advancement works in parallel, you can't choose what to concentrate on" but HOLY FUCK
Eugh, why do they keep trying to make artificial human faces?
Uncanny valley? no. That term doesn't do justice...
Breaking out the new word; Creepy bastard canyon.

i was planning on sleeping tonight
it's always when you sleep that you start to remember this shit
I'll admit, I kinda like Vocaloid. But stuff like this is just nightmare fuel, and disturbs me to hell.
I bet it is really hard to fund projects like these.
Imagine [I]presenting[/I]... those things.
