Well looks like the guys at Microsoft have been busy working on a challenger to Street View, its called Street Slide.

Not unlike Street View apart from some pretty impressive enhancements like additional navigational and informational aids like click able business logos and building numbers don’t take my word for it check out the video above.

Yesterday at the famous TED talks Peter Molyneux veteran games designer showcased “Milo” the  “virtual human” created with Microsoft that reacts to a person’s emotions, body movements and voice. Milo, as he is known, is designed for use with the new Xbox 360 motion controller called Kinect, there are no release dates yet but as soon as we here more we will let you know.

Nice use of AR here for the Olymous PEN E-PL1 Camera simply print off the PDF of the camera card and download the plugin or simply watch a simulation.

You can experience all the functionality of the demo along with narration. (oh you need a web cam)
