  1. Amazing Cell Demo by doctor_no · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Here is an impressive "virtual mirror" demo using the Cell processor put on by Toshiba. Basically, using a video camera, it can make a 3D model of the person in front of a the camera on the fly. Then it can manipulate the 3D model to change make-up, hair-styles, etc, basically a virtual magic mirror. Really demonstrates the truly unique features these more powerful processors will offer.
