Toshiba brought 2 demos for this Cell devkit, well-known 48 MPEG2 streams playback and the new "Digital Kagami Type F" (digital mirror type F) demo. This new image-based rendering demo converts user's face into polygons and applies makeup to it by texture-mapping, template-matching and motion prediction by matrix calculation, and makes it into 720x480@30fps in realtime, on a half-mirror. Here's a news movie (http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/videonews/fnn/20051004/20051004-00000273-fnn-bus_all.html) including this demo, ring-shaped bone-conduction phone, bicycle robot, SED, HD-DVD, and Blu-ray (direct link to 56k (http://www.bcast.co.jp/cgi-bin/yahoo/news.asx?cid=20051004-00000273-fnn-bus_all-movie-000&media=wm56k) | 300k (http://www.bcast.co.jp/cgi-bin/yahoo/news.asx?cid=20051004-00000273-fnn-bus_all-movie-001&media=wm300k)).
