Personality Is the New Ringtone: Experiments in AI design
summary
Hacks turn home devices into characters: an Amazon Alexa drives a Big Mouth Billy Bass Alexa hack via Arduino, motor controller, optical and sound sensors, and a viral video proves rapid prototyping works. Adobe face-tracking and Google Vision plus open AI programs animate conversational Van Gogh. Student projects include a camera+API cranky microwave that recognizes food and plays minion sounds. Proposals: put screens back, try an always-on mic, favor companions/pets, enable editable personalities and an emotional markup language for devices.
