The Blue Talkz...: Ability to 'see' advances artificial intelligence

Pretty cool article I found on MS research today. Check out the awesome AI receptionist avatar!

"Eric Horvitz, a distinguished scientist at Microsoft Research, has an equally distinguished receptionist. After eight years of working with him, she's developed a feel for his habits and routines. She can predict how long his meetings are likely to last, knows when he can't be interrupted and senses when he'll be running late. Not bad for an avatar."
