Meet Pluff, The 'Stuffed Animal Controller'
Eric over on sister site GameSetWatch spotted this rather odd looking game amongst IndieCade at E3. It's a prototype called Pluff and it pretty much looks like a computer game version of Furby.
Yes, it looks as scary as it sounds. Interacting with the 'controller' will cause the furry fella on-screen to move around and change emotion - for example, petting makes him smile while banging against a desk makes him cry. According to creator Diana Hughes, if you treat Pluff well, he'll be able to learn tricks and play games with you.

The grafics of this are really cute, looks like made for kids, i think the emotions presented may be to
subtle to the kids understand what the creature is feeling.

Sounds like the perfect toy for psychotic players:
*stroke* I love you.
*slap* I hate you.
*stroke* I love you.

Seems kinda lame since Microsoft showed off that Milo thing with the camera at E3... this really can't compare. :P

You see the problem with Milo is eventually you will loop the AI and lose the effect. This is an amazing interactive toy. It gives players, especially ones who can`t afford much, a sensation of AI. It will give a feeling close to that of Milo.
