Title: iChat on Big Brother TV show
Post by: krissel on September 16, 2003, 07:51:28 PM
Hey, I was just watching the CBS show and one of the residents had won the opportunity to communicate with viewers via the internet.

He was in a room with an LCD screen (non Apple) and as the questions came up on screen, he read them aloud then spoke back his answers. The words appeared across the bottom as he spoke. Then they showed a  closeup of the monitor and you could see the blue apple logo in the upper left corner and  the iChat in the Menu bar.

krissel, I was watching that episode too but didn't notice iChat.  Wasn't paying close enough attention. Thanks for pointing it out.

Do you think the computer had voice recognition or someone behind the seens was typing his replies for him?

Krissel,

I saw that!  That was great seeing iChat in action like that.

Ryan, I bet or my guess is it was someone behind the scene typing for him.
