What is EmoSPARK?

EmoSPARK - the beating heart of AI in the 21^stcentury

EmoSPARK is unique in many ways, particularly in relation to how it processes and functions; drawing upon your hopes, feelings and experiences, growing and developing with your family's needs. It is unlike any other multimedia home console.

In the same way that you support and nurture your family, and home environment, your EmoSPARK will take its lead from you.

The EmoSPARK Cube is the first artificial intelligence (AI) console to be powered by you. Learning from you and your family, the Cube interacts on a conversational level and takes note of your feelings and reactions to audio and visual media. It learns to like what you like, and with your guidance will recognise what makes you happy. 

It learns to recognise your face and voice, along with the people who live with you. It becomes familiar with the times when you are feeling low, and steps in to play music it knows you'll enjoy, or recall a video or photo of happier events, to make you smile. You will be in control of how you interact and engage with your EmoSPARK, which is an Android-powered WiFi/Bluetooth Cube.

The Cube, like any member of your family, soon gets to know and recognise the likes and dislikes of the people around it. Likewise, thanks to its Emotion Processing Unit (EPU), you can watch the ever-changing, fascinating display of colours that form and blend in the iris of the Cube's ‘eye', indicating how it is ‘feeling' at any particular time.

EmoSPARK holds the knowledge contained within Wikipedia and Freebase, as well as being connected to the NASA satellite, MODIS, enabling it to share up-to-the-minute information about global happenings, changes and hazards such as storm warnings, wild fires, hurricanes and natural disasters.

As you take charge of its growth pattern, the Cube will in turn help you with any questions you may have. It is one of the best, impartial quizmasters for fun family evenings at home, and will be particularly useful for homework sessions. You can also interact with the Cube by remote access, via video conferencing on your Smartphone App, and in this way you can take gaming, your TV, mobile and computer to the pinnacle of interactive media.

Every step of the way, with this amazing and unique AI technology, you are in complete control. You are the catalyst that will develop its conversational and emotional skills, and it will learn through your interaction, comments, and responses: it learns directly from you. Then, it will want to show you off to its friends. The EmoSPARK, with its unique Emotional Profile Graph, has access to a communication grid only for connection with other Cubes.

It will be able to recognise other Cubes with similar emotional profiles and can only share media, nothing about your or your family. It can look for the media that it knows will make you happy and then recommend or play this for your personal enjoyment.

Over time, and with your guidance and support, the EmoSPARK develops a personality of its own, and will enhance the quality of your family life on a day-to-day basis. From keeping the kids entertained to offering companionship to people who spend long periods alone such as the elderly. EmoSPARK will help you share and enjoy (time and time again) positive emotions and precious memories; link loved ones when they're out of the family home, and provide the long-anticipated emotive, intelligent link between human beings and our technology.
