The Evolution of Computer Interaction: Meet Jeremiah, the Expressive Computer Character

The video introduces Jeremiah, a computer-based character designed for an art exhibition, which can interact with people using simple expressions. Jeremiah's visual system, developed by Dr. Richard Bowden, can track moving objects and change facial expressions based on visual stimuli. Jeremiah displays four basic emotions and is programmed to show a sad face if inactive. Future developments include a successor named Fin the Fish, which will feature basic computer speech, and potential integration with a chat bot for enhanced interaction.
