Nabaztag means "rabbit" in Armenian, as some others have posted. IMHO, the name sounds cooler if you pronounce it like the Armenians do - just pronounce all the a's like ahh's. Kinda like the a's in the movie title "Amistad".
I worked on a similar research project more than five years ago that essentially did the same thing. It even provided links to the video files. Unfortunately, since it was research, and we didn't want a lawsuit, the system was only available to the company intranet and a few other (mostly governmental) organizations.
The system was called the Broadcast News Navigator, and more information is here:
Slashdot Mirror
Not to be pedantic or anything, but...
