  • Toshiko Taira, 87, of Kijoka, Okinawa, Japan. Many Okinawans used to work into their nineties, farming, and weaving bashofu, a fine fabric made from a local banana fiber. Bashofu weaving was a home-based craft, and highly valued, but there are few, if any, weavers producing the fabric at home anymore. The workshop of Toshiko Taira, 87, and her daughter, in the northern Okinawa village of Kijoka, is virtually all that is left of the art. She has been named a national treasure of Japan. She and her daughter are attempting to keep the fine practice alive. Although older generations of Okinawans are still living into their one-hundredth year, some say that the decline of weaving in the home was the beginning of the decline of the lengthy life spans of Okinawans.

  • G. McQueen, senior animator, in his office of Pacific Data Images (PDI) in Sunnyvale, California.  1992. The company does computer animation and digital film effects: morphing. In 1996 PDI began collaborating with DreamWorks SKG, which then acquired PDI in 2004. .Creating believable 3D animated characters (War Games) and seamless transformations known as morphing ("Black and White" and "She's Mad"), PDI has been at the forefront of computer imagery. The studio pushed the boundaries of morphing in Michael Jackson's video "Black or White" with a sequence of twelve dynamic transformations of moving characters. In the innovative David Byrne video "She's Mad," PDI pioneered the technology called performance animation, capturing the motion of David Byrne and infusing an animated character with his distinctive motion. .

  • Deftly opening a door, the Honda P3 walks its assigned path at the Honda Research Center, outside Tokyo, Japan. The product of a costly decade-long effort, the Honda robotic project was only released from its shroud of corporate secrecy in 1996. In a carefully choreographed performance, P3 walks a line, opens a door, turns a corner, and, after a safety chain is attached, climbs a flight of stairs. Despite its mechanical sophistication, it can't respond to its environment. If people were to step in its way, the burly robot would knock them down without noticing them. Ultimately, of course, Honda researchers hope to change that. But, in what seems an attempt to hedge the company's bet, P3 senior engineer Masato Hirose is also working on sending the robot to places where it cannot possibly injure anyone. From the book Robo sapiens: Evolution of a New Species, page 42.

Kitano, a senior researcher at Sony Computer Science Laboratories, Inc. and director of this government-funded project, wants to endow SIG with sufficient eyesight, hearing, and processing power to follow instructions given by several people in a crowd. The goal is ambitious, but Kitano is well-placed to achieve it.
