Virtual Eternity

Virtual Eternity

Virtual Eternity has to be one of the creepiest websites I have ever visited. The whole point of the site is to make a virtual verson of yourself so after you die you leave a copy of yourself behind. Personally this sound a little to much like Caprica for my taste. The techongy is not that impressive because it isn't much different then a aim bot (then again I tried the free trail). But the shocking part is the intelltar' s user image. I uploaded a simple head shot and VE animated it for me. Which has to be the creepiest yet most impressive part because it animates this plain image and make it almost look like a webcam.  Chatting with the intellar (as the virtual you is called on the site) is like chatting with a mac book.  The voice sounds computerized, but the company is working on ways of recording your voice. Although the digital copy of a human being is long ways away and still the stuff of science fiction.
