Not that impressive (Score 1)

I saw this thing at Siggraph in the Emerging Technologies exhibit. I really didn't find this to be that interesting of a project. The hardware was cool to look at, but the behavior was weak in my opinion. Basically it just exhibited a few "canned" movements in response to different stimuli. So if someone moved fast near it, it would shrink back. Otherwise it would just move to water the plant. Overall I must say that of all the Emerging Technologies exhibits this one does not deserve its own slashdot post.
