What you can do with a computer

I am always amazed what bit of creativity and a bunch of time can produce.
These videos I found on YouTube. They are all computer controlled objects. Basically you set it up with a bunch of outputs, then just time each output to go on or off at a specific time.

The First one is a water fountain in a mall in Canal City Japan.




This one is a bunch of Christmas lights set to music.



This last one here is from a new show on Discovery Channel called Prototype This. In this episode they are trying to build a boxing robot that responds to your movements. The video does not show it very well, but it is really cool what they came up with.



Are there any videos out there of computer controlled things that I don't know about. If there is, please let me know.
