I have my doubts about this one. Seems like it would have the same frustrations of voice recognition (hello computer) but like all new game technologies, it all depends on people writing good games for it. It could be a gimmick or it could be a whole new experience that changes the way we interact with computers. The AI behind the kid seems a little too polished, like maybe he says the exact same things every time.

If this really works as seamlessly as they show it, it’s a breakthrough; otherwise, it’s Clever Hans revisited. For example,
could Claire have had Milo clean those fish? Do we really need virtual friends? Is the picture that Claire drew on the piece of paper virtually handed to Milo? Is this a necessary step toward getting me that robot maid I was promised?
Anyway, for more information see:
