>> Is cool computer graphics simply a matter of misdirection…
I suppose that the best artists are just better at misdirection than the rest.
Making everything perfect is rarely possible or practical, so a magician's
skill at misdirection can really help.
BTW, you are not the only one who wasn't convinced by the interactive diving
demo. I suspect that it may have been designed to be interactive, but it just
didn't work right. Most of what we saw was "played" by the guy running the
computer. I also suspect that the Pirate's voice belonged to someone sitting
back stage. At Tuesday's ET, he said something like "Let's stop shooting each
other and shake claws" — just too darn coincidental for the current state of
confusion in the audience.
