This is Walter "docking" or stopping inside of a given area. I should say that in the video, Walter comes up quite short on the target. This is an issue with the beacon, not Walter. Walter judges distance from the beacon by judging the "size" of the beacon within the view of the camera. --As he gets closer, the dot of light gets bigger. When you put nice, fresh batteries in the beacon, it becomes super-duper bright and thus, Walter thinks he is closer than he is. I just need to get around to doing a bit of "regulation" on that beacon...
Walters “real” voice is done by a very good friend of mine in London. I hate to bother him to “do lines” for me so I usually wait until I have a pretty good batch together. Until that happens, I use a “place keeper” voice in the form of the English computer voice as shown in the video.
The computer-generated voice was “liberated” from here. It is the “Lawerence” voice, but others are very good too. I simply played the audio via their sample player, and recorded it in real time with a second computer. It now lives on Walter’s thumb drive with all his other audio.
