Milo

Motion Control is all the rage in video game technology these days.

This fall, Microsoft is releasing a product to be used alongside the Xbox360 called 'Kinect'. Kinect makes the player the controller using motion sensing technology. The Xbox 360 user can interact with the screen simply by waving their arms or saying commands.

One of the more fascinating programs or games to run alongside the Kinect will eventually be 'Project Milo'.

Milo is the creation of Lionhead studios and is meant to change the way that the audience or the gamer interacts with the virtual world. Milo will be completely responsive to any questions or movements that the gamer performs in front of Kinect. Milo completely responds to emotions, movements, and voice.

This is one of the first groundbreaking tests in advanced virtual artificial intelligence.

The thought of being able to interact with something that doesn't exist is creepy but awesome at the same time.

Inception

I recently went to see 'Inception', a new movie directed by Christopher Nolan. Inception is about being able to steal ideas and information via peoples dreams, which is called extraction; however, inception is when someone plants an idea into someones brain.

There are rules of the dream world. For example, if you are injured in the dream you will feel immense pain both in the dream and in the real world; but, if you are killed, you will instantly awake from the dream and be perfectly fine in the real world.

This made me think about the Buddhist belief of reincarnation and that when you die you are reincarnated into another living vessel. I crafted a new theory based of reincarnation and the idea of being killed in a dream.

What if life is an infinite loop of dreams?

If you get killed in this world that we live in, who's to say that you don't awake in another? This cycle could continuously repeat and repeat forever, almost as if there is no such thing as death but rather waking up.

Now this theory is not about living forever, but merely shifting realms if you were to die and to continue living where you start in a new realm.

As crazy as it sounds, it is interesting to think about.
