However, an earlier version of this idea, complete with a computer-generated human-like image, is Adam Selene, from The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, a 1966 novel by Robert Heinlein.

Guile 3D Studio developed the software for Denise, the virtual assistant, based on its own 3D real time computer graphics and an artificial intelligence system, to provide any computer user with a more human way to interact with the machine, using voice recognition and natural language to perform everyday actions, such as checking email, latest news, personal appointments, and doing internet searches, getting spoken answers through text synthesis in a voice that is almost human.Įxcept for the avatar, the service is similar to the Daily Schedule from Frank Herbert's 1977 novel The Dosadi Experiment. "The residents will interact with Denise, who will receive voice commands in Portuguese and interpret them to perform a variety of different actions in apartments, such as turning lights on and off, playing music, announcing e-mails, controlling the alarm and even authorizing entrance into apartments using facial and digital recognition," says Lindroth. Here she will be in charge of the interface between residents and automated residence services. One example of how Denise can help in interactions between people and technology is in the role of a virtual governess at a hi-tech condominium in Sao Paulo, called Pinheiros Connections. Other applications now being tested include a Virtual Nurse to keep children and elderly people company in hospitals, an assistant to interact with car computers, and for using at information kiosks at airports and shopping centers, self-service terminals and support systems, and automated call centers," says Guile Lindroth, director of Guile 3D Studio. In addition to female characters, there will also be males and children, since the technology is intended for people of all ages.

"Denise is the first of a series of digital assistants. Denise opens the word processing application and Guilherme starts typing a document.Denise reads the new e-mails, stating who sent them and the subject.Guilherme: Denise, could you check to see if I have any new e-mails?.Denise: You've got a 2:00 o'clock meeting with your marketing team, and a 5:00 o'clock with the development team.Shall I read you your appointments today? The system uses advanced computer graphics, integrated with artificial intelligence software, and voice recognition and synthesis in 46 languages as well as biometric systems. Denise, the virtual assistant, is the creation of a Brazillian company, Curitiba-based Guile 3D Studio.
