Want to make an avatar more human? Or help a robot have personality? That's exactly what the folks at Geppetto Avatars are doing.
I had a chance to talk to Mark Stephen Meadows, Chief Science Officer of Geppetto Avatars after his presentation at the Digital Health Summer Summit. He told me that Geppetto builds hearts and minds for avatars and robots.
He explained that although we frequently communicate using text in digital health, in fact you lose a large part of the meaning that is embedded in normal face to face communication (e.g. facial expression, tone of voice, cadence of the speech). That is why Geppetto has made these a part of the personality of their Avatars.
Watch the video to learn more about this fascinating company - there is probably a robot or avatar in your future someday soon.
