Virtual Characters as dating butlers

by David Evans on September 27, 2005 in Dating Technology

Over the years I’ve seen many different types of virtual helpers, from the ill-fated Microsoft Bob to Clippy the Paperclip. I’ve been doing some research into avatars for dating sites and came across Oddcast. It’s straightforward to create an avatar, upload the text and have the avatar speak the text based on specific conditions. Other solutions exist, but Oddcast is the least expensive to integrate. Check it out for yourself.

    Very nice, David. Thanks for bringing this up here…

    Next generation Internet communication should integrate the most fundamental of all modes of interaction-voice and language.

    As Online Dating is a very personal and emotional thing I doubt that virtual characters will ever work for Online Dating sites…But we’ll see. Maybe I’m wrong.
