Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,
Hemen Parekh

Now as I approach my 90th birthday ( 27 June 2023 ) , I invite you to visit my Digital Avatar ( www.hemenparekh.ai ) – and continue chatting with me , even when I am no more here physically

RE: Call

 Sahiti,

 

 

Since Kartavya ( www.atidantech.com ) was tied up with some family  matters, I requested Kishan Kokal ( a computer science undergrad student ) to design the U / I

 

I am glad that you liked it – although a lot of improvements ( especially, animation of the visuals – part with black background ) remain. Kishan has no background in animation and he is searching for some suitable software

 

For our video-meet on 21st morning ( 10 am IST ), I am forwarding Suman’s “ invite link “ to both, Kartavya and Kishan

 

As far as U / I is concerned, we need following “ functionalities support “ from personal.ai page  :

 

=================================================================================

 

 

TOPMOST  PRIORITY :

 

Ø  Question Box

 

#  Visitor types out a question

 

Ø  Answer Box

 

#  Answer appears as text

 

Ø  Counters

 

#  Total No of Visitors so far  /  No of persons talking to my Digital Avatar at this very moment

 

Ø  Click here to create your own Digital Avatar ( takes visitor to REGISTRATION page of Personal.ai )

 

Ø  Click here to chat with Digital Avatars created by other Members of Personal.ai ( displays list of MEMBERS )

 

Ø  Share on Linkedin – Facebook – Twitter – Instagram / Forward Screenshot to a friend / Copy Link etc

 

 

 

MEDIUM PRIORITIES :

 

Ø  Question Box

 

#  Visitor Records / Speaks Out question ( Speech-to-Text conversion ) / Text appears in Question Box

 

 

Ø  Answer Box

 

#  Text appears in Answer box and simultaneously it gets “ spoken / read “ in my OWN voice

 

Ø  Box for listing “ Questions asked recently by other visitors “ ( can be clicked and transferred to Question Box )

 

 

LOW PRIORITY :

 

Ø  Box for “ Rate My Answer “ – along with counters for “ Total Responses “ / Ave Score

 

 

As far as “ Animation “ is concerned, following is my BRIEF to Kishan ( - incidentally, he has not found a way for API suggested by Suman – perhaps you can help ? ) :

 

 

 

BRIEF :

 

 

As far as My Digital Avatar U/I is concerned,  VISUALIZATION ( the bottom half of the page ) is THE KEY

 

I have envisaged this in the format of KBC ( Kaun Banega Crorepati ) which has got millions “ riveted “ to their TV screens for over 20 years !

 

Obviously, viewers just cannot resist watching an episode, once switched on . What is the magic ?

 

I believe its main features are as follows ( - although we cannot replicate all of which in our Bottom-Half U/I ) :

 

 

Ø  Big B himself with his delivery – humility – humour – facial expressions – approachability – friendliness – non judgemental attitude etc . Can we add some animation to my digital avatar face ? some expression ?

 

 

Ø  Glamorous Set with its sitting arrangement for participants / visitors : lighting : flashing videos on walls etc – some of which you might be able to add to the VISUAL bottom of the U / I

 

 

Ø  Centre with hot seat / Big B’s seat , facing each other but with revolving chairs for 360 * exposure . Could you get those 2 chairs to revolve 180 * ? from left to right – as if facing the page viewers

 

Ø  Computer Screens [ in our case equivalent to QUESTION BOX screen for visitor ] .

 

 

 

      In KBC  neither people sitting there, nor TV viewers, can SEE this screen. In our page, I want this SCREEN / QUESTION BOX to be fully

 

       visible to all who land on this page.

 

      In fact, they should be able to see the TEXT appearing in that box ( word by word ), as a visitor TYPES the question . This would require

 

      that  “ Screen box “ to “ not face “ the occupant of the seat but , be at 90 * angle to the seat

 

 

 

Ø  Same should hold good for the ANSWER BOX cum SCREEN of My Digital Avatar

 

 

Ø  In KBC, there is lot of loud music in the background. I do not want such background music which distracts

 

 

Ø  One major factor for the “ Gluing Quality “ of KBC is “ Audience Participation “ – especially during “ Audience Poll “ .

 

Unfortunately we cannot introduce anything equivalent – unless you have any brilliant ideas

 

 

 

With regards,
