Avatar Machine

Video Title :	Avatar Machine
Description :	by designer Marc Owens 2007 www.marcowens.co.uk The virtual communities created by online games have provided us with a new medium for social interaction and communication. Avatar Machine is a system which replicates the aesthetics and visuals of third person gaming, allowing the user to view themselves as a virtual character in real space via a head mounted interface. The system potentially allows for a diminished sense of social responsibility, and could lead the user to demonstrate behaviors normally reserved for the gaming environment.

that was stupid

thats cool, but why on earth would you want to view ur life from the third person? its kinda pointless, but props to the inventor!

This would be great for people with social phobia. They wouldn't feel like they are the person being controlled.

cool

iiiiii dont get it

hmm he lookes like a level 39 Troll Fighter who doesn't know what to do XDDD

what exactly is he?

He showed you actually. For example, when he stopped to watch the people go by, then it cut to his view and showed the person going by again. Good stuff!

Dood, sweet!

what the hell..??!
