New Hi Tech Stuff

A place to be entertained. Videos, jokes, games, and more.
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.

Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Miim is still learning a lot.

Simply amazing...the only real give away that it isn't a human is the unusually large hands. :D:

As long as she isn't watching American Idol. Bad enough we have humans screeching like cats in heat on that show we don't need a robot doing the same thing.

The robot's probably using the 3rd generation of VOCALOID. This video has her using the 2nd generation of the program.

Told you VOCALOIDs can sound human when used well.

Why does a robot need big breast and a butt?

extra room to hold her stuff.
gears, levers, motors, circut boards.
everything in her in functional, not just pretty.
look at the size of her hands. for a small robot she has a big frame. there is a lot of stuff in her trunk.

Yes, and those big hands are there to rap you up side of the head should you decide to "accidentally" brush against one of those gears, levers, motors or circuit boards. :twisted:
