GLaDOS Voices New Kinect-Based Virtual Assistant

Who wouldn't want a computer that speaks down to you?

Call us masochists if you want, but for some reason gamers have the strange desire to want evil-spirited GLaDOS to live in our devices. Spotted by The Verge, computer tinkerer Corey Thomas has done just that.

With the help of Kinect, Corey used his technological expertise to reincarnate the popular character from Portal games as a virtual assistant. It's still in it's early stages but, as you can see from the video below, the results are impressive.

If you're the type who wants your computer to speak down to you while carrying out your every request, Corey plans to make the source code public once he deems the product satisfactory, unless developer Valve says otherwise.
