Extended time with the Microsoft HoloLens sparked an idea: what if a virtual pet could live in the real world? A holographic companion that responds to hand gestures, voice commands, and follows you through mixed reality.
Tamagotchi was one of the earliest versions of a virtual pet.
A recent project involved spending considerable time with Microsoft Hololens, which led to the idea of building a holographic pet.
Key considerations are:
- Simple 3D pet character.
- Interactive - Hand-based interactions like petting.
- Voice commands - response based on calls
- Ability to change to different characters.
To get started, this simple video demonstrates what's to come.
