Vocaloid

I don't think she "should be smashed with a hammer" but I think she needs a bit more practice before she goes pro^^

Ya.. she shouldn't be smashed with a hammer. If she is she might still be able to sing. I say burn it,or turn it into a maid,one that doesn't talk. XD

Her voice doesn't sound right >.> Guess she needs more practice.

yes and no - mixed feelings on this one

it's that face... there's something about it that i just can't put my finger on...

Yeah. As realistic as it looks, Miku has lost her cute factor in it. It just makes no sense. If her face looked more like that of a dollfie, then I'm sure no one would be complaining about it.

I love Melt... but that robot is just creepy looking. :<

Her Zettai Ryouiki could use some more work. But I find her/it a tad disconcerting.. she falls right smack at the bottom of the "uncanny Valley just between a zombie and a bunraku puppet

She must not be good with the high notes or it could be the speakers, in any case there is no reason for panic, she cant seem to mover her limbs. RUNAWAY!!! or just walkaway (^_^) ha!

I for one welcome our new robot overlords.

This android doesn't deserve to be 'smashed with a hammer' although it needs to learn to dance as well.

she need some more tuning to hit the high notes properly... and... did she say arigotogozaima"shit"ta? xD

She is a scary 3D Miku!

With a hammer? I'd rather call the demolition team and blow it up.
It completely destroy miku's wonderful image on her fans.

*_______*
nay. It just isn't right.

"Melt", one of the few Miku songs I know and heard of the variations from Nico singers.

Doesn't seem too bad to me. It's Vocaloid style after all.

Like I said before as scary as it is,The robotics are neat to say the least.

If only it was a dollfie robot version instead, I think her fame will be worldwide ^^;

I was never able to get used to Miku's singing anyway, was too high pitch in 2D for me, making her 3D didn't change my opinion, pitch is still too high.

Well she does score pretty high on the creepiness scale.

neat but omg scary, just creepy so very creepy, as smash it with a hammer creepy though

lol it shd be blasted with miku beam :D:D
uber fail!

She needs a voice upgrade and a face upgrade... then we'll talk about not smashing her with a hammer. Or maybe smashing with a hammer might fix some of the voice problems?

It will suffice to unplug it from the power mains... hehehehe...

Yay for attempting to make a virtual idol.

FAIL for that... creepy... face...

But I still think back in 1996 DK96 was a good shot at attempting to make an actual virtual idol with 3D software on the hardware of the day.

I'm so used to Vocaloid voices now. XD But really, the voice depends on how well the person tunes it. You can get really crappy/robotic-sounding ones but you can also get really nice voices too.

As for the actual robot... it's... still very robotic. The face is so stiff and all but I suppose I'm just asking for too much for a robot to move the same as a human. >.>;;

It's still amazing that you can have a voice synthesiser.

Sure its a bit creepy due to the human head. Voice isn't terrible. The problem is distortion it sounds like.... Sounds a tad different to the original aswell lol. Not hammer-smash worthy anyways.

Upgrade her with a Miku Beam-mu and she can beat up Chucky anytime! I blame the mic for her distorted singing. I think high pitched is ok, but the feedback from the speakers .. wowzas!! Ears bleeding!

Well Vocaloids are meant to be on human-like robots. if it was anymore mecha-ish, we all pretty digital-ish robo voices!

I think its very creepy how the neck is all weird and her body to head scale is all out of proportion

Also she never closed her mouth during the whole time she was singing, only at the end and at the beginning.

Let the creators do some refining before smashing it to pieces...

i wish i had machine gun to destroy it !

i'm more creeped out by her face more than anything. dressing her like miku probably wasn't a great idea either.

^__^' I think she looks great! Bit creepy...Wouldn't smash her to pieces though. :P

I think it was fine, the only reason the vid sounds bad it because the camera is to close to the speakers. And the creator was watching their child instead of the picture frame to make sure you can see her face in the vid. Clearly you can see how nervous they were by the shaking camera.

And I know I have seen that face somewhere before, and I think she's cute.

Actually this model is capable of moving around and was designed to be used as a moving mannequin and was used in a fashion show I hear. I guess it's the face combination with Miku's hair that isn't sitting well with me. Face needs to be reworked a bit. The normal model looked fine when I saw the photos.

I find it funny that the music is being played on a Yamaha Disklavier which is a automated piano where the keys depress as it plays. It's not visible in this video but it's shown here: http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/08/yamahas-singing-robot-quietly-trolls-slyly-frightens-at-ceatec/

So yeah, she already has a pianist lined up, just needs to work on her look :P

It does sound pretty demonic though... I'd feel bad for smashing it because I'd be too afraid it'll come back and try to kill me XD

肩から腕のところが色気があれば、ばっちりｗ

is just a step for Chobits robots, but everything had to start from primitive models

Well, it could be worse right?

I would not hesitate to throw that frakking toaster out the airlock. We don't want it haunting us in our sleep with that voice.

I don't think this recording is really doing anything for the singing miku copy ^_^ Honestly, I think they should have an actual Miku instead of what she is supposed to look like in real life^^ Also, besides her head moving, I didn't see anything else moving ^_^ Must fix immediately ;p

she should go on a diet first, then practice her singing, THEN go pro.

oh Danny fatb actually posted it at FF yesterday too :) http://www.figure.fm/post/en/3108/Miku+What+have+they+done+to+you.html

A step towards making her more 3d i think...but not too the point of needing destroying her...

maybe after the smash they could make a plastic surgery on her to make it looks at least like a cute 3d girl...

I say work on creating a more realistic hologram, the Robots that look human kinda freak me out no matter how cute their digital counterpart is.

I finally realized that she's a robot after reading a bunch of comments... I just thought it was a very creepy looking cosplayer.

But I must say that does a little impression

Hatsune Miku is the Light of Truth

Miku+HRP-4C

I think the quality of this video isn't the best for sound so if I saw this in person then I'd give my opinion on the Hatsuna Miku android. I did see this on current first, and was laughing at the comments.

I think it could use some work, I prefer 2D miku.

Miku=2D. I refuse to believe any other Miku than the original. Even Kagamiku is not a proper Miku!

Okay, that kind of scared me. But I do like the fact that she sung Melt.

Nice try....That's all I can say.

Not that bad but it's a bit creepy @_@.

kokkui!! kokkui!! get for my birthday!! :D

Gee Gee.

Her body is out of proportion...she looks deformed. D:
I never liked the vocaloid singing voices. They give me a headache.

I think they should just leave Miku to 2D...

should remove the computer sound of her voice or should i say digital voice..?
2d or 3d are all ok for me...
2d only see miku as paper
3d you get to see her in real life and maybe hand shake with her? LoL
Dannay..what say you?

SMASH THAT THING NOW!!!
i demand a refund of my time now as i just witnessed how great a piece of crap can ruin one of the greatest miku songs ever.

Let's celebrate the technology that brought us this! Then we can go back to our much-loved 2D Miku, when we can celebrate that too!!

Any excuse for a party ^_^

Well, I don't think that lousy microphone helps...

I think she is better off saying things like, "Nyoro-n."

Yay Melt!! Sound a bit different though.
Seems that only her head can move >.<

Yesterday I went to a Kazuhito Yokoi's lecture in Barcelona. He didn't say anything about a Miku Hatsune's version of HRP-4C. I wish I'd knew this before.

The mech that runs the facial features is surprisingly pretty accurate. Although I'd have to agree that if they're going to use Hatsune Miku's voice (in some vids, I've seen them using Kagamine Rin's voice) they need to use an anime face. A traditional human face makes people want to chuck her into the uncanny valley. If we were at the presentation ourselves, we'd have no problem accepting the voice limitations. This is a recording of a recording of a recording problem. Quality is crap, so we shouldn't judge the audio. I'm waiting for the day when the balance gyros are so good, they can make the bot do MMD dance routines! Then we can talk about Chobits and love dolls and the effects on dolphins and what not!

facial expression is not bad but dressing need to improve.

How about this one AIKO in canada. http://www.projectaiko.com/index.html

"Should Be Smashed With A Hammer." - that depends.... She might be able to sing but can she cook?

...Leave Miku in 2D, PLEASE
If they are going to bring her into the 3D world, at least let her have her original voice and her original appearance...
That pile of scrap there is NOT Miku
Conclusion: smash it

Well... I guess it's ok ^_^

Oh no no no, we must take care of them, with love, didn`t you see Matrix?, if they get angry we are lost!! Doooomeeedd!! Aaahhhh
In some strange way she is kawaii XD

I wouldn't necessarily resort to 'smashing' it, just put it on display....forever.
