From: News Reader on 4 Apr 2007 07:24 Back in 1989 there was a place at Epcot where you could have a portrait drawn by a robot arm holding a marker. You sat on camera and the computer used the arm to convert your likeness on video to a drawing on paper. It all seemed as modern as tomorrow at the time. I have a memory if seeing it in the area that's now called Innoventions--I think it was Communicore back in 1989. Anne
