News at Seven - Automated News

News at Seven is a completely automatic news system that uses the digital character "Alyx" from the computer game Half-Life 2 to read news stories to you. These stories are gathered from news feeds across the web, and the system also finds related video, images and blogs. All of the presentations use text-to-speech technology, so the episodes are completely automatic and no humans are involved. While the system is rough around the edges at the moment, the future for the idea looks promising. Check it out at http://www.newsatseven.com/
