Right on Tigro, you raise a very important point. by noisy I did not mean... noise in the signal..but cognitive noise (when a piece of info ceases to have its intended meaning)...when one channel of communication is so over utilized (in an un-natural way) that it is no longer functional because the 'actor' cease to feel in full control of the expressive medium. This is exactly what happens with voice controlled avatar gesturing... I shut it off...because the resulting 'Parkinson' effect (when avatar moves about meaninglessly..) has become noise and is a distraction. In human communication, we often have multiple synchronous and redundant channels which serves to resolve expressive ambiguities in real time. For e.g. there are many more ambiguities to resolve if you have access only to a sign language... or are blind and need to use voice to express urself than if both channels are used...
