Turtle Talk with Crush

Well, just another reason to get to Walt Disney World… the Disney Imagineers have come up with a talking turtle. In thier new attraction, Crush (the sea turtle from Finding Nemo) swims up on a large video screen and asks questions to the audience calling people by name and (once told) identifying them by what they are wearing, answers question from the audience and reacts to the audience response.
The “secret” of the attraction is of course that Crush is a digital puppet controlled by a puppeteer who’s performance is translated in real-time in to computer animation that appears on the screen.
My dream job…
