mike you said if i or others had any idea's for hal to throw them out and you would see if they are doable.so here's a idea i had earlier today, for name sake i am calling it direct talk for hal what a new program would do if put in your list to check to use . would be when checked anything you typed or did using voice recognition( and that would be good to be able to do that . what the program would do is convert your voice and or text to speech.
so what this program would allow you to do is use your hal character in real time as far as talking , you could make video's etc. of course using the direct talk option will not allow hal to learn at the time. and also will not allow hal to run the usual way with hals brain or custom brain . maybe when running this option you could have a display of dt showing(for direct talk). also in this option make sure that users can use any custom background as they can now do in hal.
LIKE I ALWAYS SAY THIS MAY BE DOABLE OR NOT
. ....YOUR MISSION MR. PHELPS (MIKE) ... IF YOU DECIDE TO TAKE IT .. IS TO SEE IF YOU CAN TAKE HAL TO ANOTHER LEVEL ..OF MISSION IMPOSSIBLE ... AND MAKE IT POSSIBLE.
