Cambridge scientists create 'emotional' computer
We interact with computers by typing on a keyboard and clicking on the mouse, but imagine how much easier it would be if we could just speak to them.
Scientists in Cambridge have developed a virtual talking head which can talk and express emotion. They say it could revolutionise the way we use computers.

University builds £6 million business centre
Building work will start next month on a £6 million business centre at Anglia Ruskin University's Chelmsford campus.
The Anglia Ruskin University Medical Business Innovation Centre (MedBIC) will support new medical technology companies.
The new centre will open in spring 2014, and is expected to create up to 120 jobs in its first three years. It will house engineering research laboratories, offices and meeting space. Anglia Ruskin, Chelmsford City Council and Essex County Council are collaborating on the project.
Professor Michael Thorne, Vice Chancellor of Anglia Ruskin University, said: “Our aim is that the Anglia Ruskin University MedBIC, combined with the Anglia Ruskin MedTech Campus, will help Essex become a world-renowned centre of excellence for innovation.”
Northamptonshire to get quicker broadband
Northamptonshire County Council has signed a £16.2 million deal with BT to supply superfast broadband to the county.
Work on the project is due to get underway immediately and the deal should see a new fibre broadband network in place by 2015.
Cambridge scientists make human computer
Scientists in Cambridge have created a virtual human head which they say could revolutionise the way we use computers.
Known as Zoe the head has been developed by Toshiba's Cambridge Research Lab and the University of Cambridge's Department of Engineering. It could see us using computers by simply talking to them rather than using a traditional keyboard.
The new system can recite text while recreating emotions like happiness, anger and fear. Students have already remarked upon the similarity with the disembodied head and Holly, the ship's computer, in comedy Red Dwarf.
