Game featuring realistic motion/voice interaction revealed

Developed by Lionhead, Milo, a highly interactive new video game created by Fable's Peter Molyneux was unveiled today at Microsoft's E3 keynote. In the video it was revealed that players can interact with the young english boy, through speech and through motion that is registered with the Natal system. The system is so intricate that it can even register your own facial expressions.

In the video, we see a woman talking with Milo and coming up to a lake where she interacts with the water, which amazingly shows her own reflection in the ripples. Another pretty amazing technical trick was that the woman drew a picture of a fish for Milo and by bringing the paper up the camera, was able to hand him the drawing in his virtual world.

Whether or not Milo will be entertaining, boring, or just downright creepy, it's clear that the technology used is pretty impressive and may even act as a stepping stone in the direction of video games in the future.
