Audience    members registered for various professions with a mysterious    fictitious company called Brave New Ventures. Identities    registered ranged from matter analysts to control operators and    all were transported into the world of Prometheus with original    props from the film including rover trucks, parts of the flight    deck, and the cockpit.  <\/p>\n<p>    The space ships computer system, called Mother, was provided    by Zabaware, creators of the artificial intelligence software    Ultra Hal. Like an actor, Ultra Hal put on the persona of    Mother and answered queries from the audience. Audience members    could go up to the Mother computer console and interact with    it by giving it questions or commands in plain English. The    system provided the audience with answers about the ships    mission, crew, and would carry out various commands such as    establishing communications with other crew members that were    on the surface of an alien planet.  <\/p>\n<p>    Zabaware is an Erie, Pennsylvania based company that    specializes in artificial intelligence technology. Zabaware is    the maker of the award winning Ultra Hal software, artificial    intelligence technology that won the most human computer of    the year in the 17th annual Loebner Prize Competition for    Artificial Intelligence (AI). The software can give computers a    personality using AI technology, speech recognition technology,    and real-time animation. Ultra Hal is like an inquisitive child    and is capable of learning new things from conversations based    on complex natural language processing technology capable of    statistically analyzing past conversations. The algorithms    behind Ultra Hal have been in development for over 17 years.  <\/p>\n<p>    Ultra Hal is available as a Windows app, Facebook app, a web    app, and is on Twitter.
