Stanley Kubrick HAL 9000 may have been smart enough to launch a spacecraft
Discovery, but HAL lacked the fact that today computer computers may appear - a face.
Computers that have long suffered from the impersonality of the box with speakers and
programmer’s graphics will soon have a face and attitude compatible with their
users.

hand gestures and more expressions than Marcel Marché. But most importantly,
it will encourage you to learn - anything and everything - from French to forensic.
Helen will have a "soul"
Researchers in the field of educational technology, human-computer interaction
and psychology has determined that computers can be more convincing if they
have a visual identity and "soul." So they developed what they call
effective "pedagogical agent", animated three-dimensional character, which serves
as the “face” (and “interface”) of a computer that can imitate the human emotional
expressions, non-verbal communication and interaction.
