Ramona: world's first live virtual rock star
Speaking of virtual reality, and speaking of Ray Kurzweil, check out Ramona.
A couple of years ago Ray constructed a 3D virtual alter ego, in the form of a 25 year old female rock singer, who looks nothing like him but talks his talk and walks his walk, literally.
Frankly I found it a mildly unsettling to watch the superimposition of Ray (not, IMO, overly cute) with the virtually attractive Ramona.
But it just goes to show that on the Internet, it's really true that nobody knows you're a dog. (No offense Ray, I love your stuff!)
