This makes me wish I owned a cafe because if I did, I’d be bribing Steven Blyth and Matty Sallin to install their Chit Chat installation in there. So if any of my customers were talking with each other, a speech bubble would project above their heads as they talked. The bubble would swell with the text “blah blah” as they continued to talk and the text would reflect the volume of your speech by changing size and attributes (bold, italic).
All of this would take place in Flash. A script would read the amplitude recorded and generate the proper “blah” graphic. And if one of them remained silent, they would eventually get a corresponding thought bubble.

i don’t particularly understand but i’m always happy to see Matty getting the celebrity attention he does.

The next version ought to have other equivalents for blather, like “carrots and peas” and “rhubarb fishcakes.” Maybe even the little strokes that comprised Woodstock’s dialogue in “Peanuts.”

Imagine if the system could read body language at a rudimentary level as well. It could insert appropriate thoughts in the thought-bubbles, and colour the text and shape the bubble according to mood and whatnot.
