Hello Mary This is Mary, one of the talking and listening characters with whom you can interact when using our software. Her facial animations show the interactive status of your computer. Mary can wake-up your computer from hibernation, ask where you are and go to sleep when you leave the room. You can see some of Mary's facial expressions in this slide show. For this video we are using the rotating mechanical GEARS to represent the computer as it interacts with us. We have named the computer Mechanical. This clip shows how to select different on-screen characters and issue a couple commands to control them directly. The last part of the clip shows how to start windows programs by saying their Voice name. Read a conversation with Jessica, another of our characters.
