News
published
Space Child Adventure Grand Odyssey, an animated film showing at the Aichi Expo 2005, has a very special star -- you! Visitors to the Mitsui-Toshiba Pavilion get a high resolution digital full-face scan; these faces are edited into that performance of the "film" in real-time.
Every person who enters the theater gets a role; a Toshiba supercomputer inserts the necessary information and presents the one-time-only film.
