APD Week 1 - Lily Harrison

Theme

Play and Observation

Method

I wanted to create a small app or game similar to an interactive pet except the interactive character is me. You can talk to the character and tell her jokes and she will react accordingly, like a chat bot. Tell her a joke, see her laugh. Tell her the weather is bad and she will look sad etc.

Context

An interactive chat bot/interactive pet sim based on myself.

Response

I think this would be an interesting way to both convey my personality and have an aspect of observation and play by creating an app like this. It gives me an idea that you could customise the character to act as an avatar for yourself and pre load reactions to certain phrases. Input likes and dislikes and send your friends to test them. This can allow people to observe your personality in a new way.
