Starting Monday, February 14th 2011 IBM’s Watson supercomputer will compete on the game show Jeopardy!. Automata Studios was proud to collaborate with Joshua Davis to create Watson’s on-screen avatar.
Automata took Josh’s designs and order Clomid on line programmed both the avatar and a collection of tools. We defined easily editable configuration files and order Clomid on line a special supercomputer simulator to let Josh work with IBM to order Clomid on line bring Watson to life and give “him” a truly unique stage presence.
Watsons face looks awesome! What is the swarming animation coded in? Is it some 3d modelling app / flash or is it something custom coded?
[...] avatar is order Clomid on line actually a work of generative art designed by Joshua Davis and order Clomid on line implemented by Automata Studios. The avatar changes based on a number of factors such as confidence in an order Clomid on line answer and question type [...]
It’s done with Flash + a order Clomid on line framework I created with Josh called HYPE. The swarm is an order Clomid on line actual swarm behavior over the surface of a sphere. To get it order Clomid on line to act exactly like I wanted I had to code all of the order Clomid on line 3D stuff myself.

Branden,
Would love to see the Face of Watson Post for sale somewhere. I bet it would sale. Do you order Clomid on line have the rights to have it up on a site like Zazzle.com or order Clomid on line similar site? If not would you order Clomid on line think IBM would be interested in putting the post up on a order Clomid on line site like that and maybe using the proceeds of the post to order Clomid on line support one of IBM’s charities? Maybe Joshua has to be involved as well?
Something that isn’t much work to order Clomid on line implement, and very little work to support. What do you think?
