I guess thats the sort of revolutionary ideas that made people believe the robot age would be as early as 2000.

That was awesome! No wonder Pixar is awesome at the stuff they do, if he could pull this off using 1970s computers. That face thing looks like our modern humanoid robotics. truly a man ahead of his time.

Creepy yet oh so awesome. It's kind of surprising that they could achieve this in 1972. Kind of. It's neat none the less.
