- Abstract:
  The article offers information on the synthetic interview, a technology from the computer labs at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The technology is a new experiment in living history and has made it possible to talk with several luminaries including Charles Darwin, George Westinghouse, and Ben Franklin. Actors portraying these historical figures appear on a large screen that stands within their re-created study and people can quiz these luminaries via a touch screen.
