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,

Extract :

 

In July, Dos Santos took that voice note and, with the help of Eleven Labs - an artificial intelligence-powered voice generator platform founded in 2022 - paid a $22 monthly fee to upload the audio and create new messages in his father's voice, simulating conversations they never got to have.

The market for AI technologies designed to help people process loss, known as "grief tech," has grown exponentially in recent years. Ignited by US startups such as StoryFile (an AI-powered video tool that lets people record themselves for posthumous playback) and HereAfter AI (a voice-based app that creates interactive avatars of deceased loved ones), this tech markets itself as a means to cope with, and perhaps even forestall, grief.

Robert LoCascio founded Eternos, a Palo Alto-based startup that helps people create an AI digital twin, in 2024 after losing his father. Since then, more than 400 people have used the platform to create interactive AI avatars, LoCascio says, with subscriptions starting from $25 for a legacy account that allows a person's story to remain accessible to loved ones after their death.

Yesterday , I have registered on both sites ( Delphi / atVITA ) . I await acceptance and further instructions

 

How can I “ leverage Delphi “ need to be looked in light of my following “ Physical and Digital “ journey

 

 

With regards,

 

Hemen Parekh

 

 

 

 

MY JOURNEY :

 

 

Ø  Physical

   

             I am 92 and without any serious health issues

 

Ø  Professional

 

Mech Engg. ( 1955 ) – Worked for L&T , India’s largest engg co ( 1959 – 90 ) – 3P Consultants , my own firm ( 1990-2010 )

 

Ø  Digital

 

Launched www.HemenParekh.in ( on Blogger platform ) in 2013 – already uploaded approx. 40,000 documents ( written over past 6 decades ) – still to upload some 10,000 documents

 

Joined www.Personal.ai , around Sept 2022 / uploaded all documents ( and continuing @ 100 / day ) / generated approx. 321,000 MEMORY BLOCKS

 

Launched www.HemenParekh.ai in Feb 2023 ( powered by an API from Personal.ai )

 

Launched www.IndiaAGI.ai , and www.My-Teacher.in , around April 2025

 

This week , launched a AI – enabled blogging tool ( take a look at the blogs posted in past 3 days ) – which “ learns “ about my likes / dislikes ( topics ) and “ imbibes “ my style of “ thinking “ and “ expressing “ my views. It refers to my own old documents on any topic selected automatically from News papers / internet trends

 

Hopefully , by next week , blogging tool should enable me to generate blogs in 26 languages ( same as in my other sites ) .

 

 

Ø  Future Plans ( a Spanish proverb > “ If you want to make God laugh , tell him about your future plans “ )

 

#    On www.HemenParekh.ai , make my face “ talk back “ ( answers ) in my own voice with lip-sync. Some distant day > my 3D Volumetric Hologram ? Of course , if cost is bearable  

 

#   Combine both sites ( .in and .ai ) into one site – and on my own platform ( feel constrained by limitations of Blogger platform )

 

Ø  Past Messages to Delphi :

WHAT CAN YOU COME UP WITH THIS ?

 Sandeep ,

 

During my chat yesterday , ChatGPT came up with following instructions . Do you think you can turn these into any IMAGE or VIDEO ?

 

Hcp

 

 

I said :

 

Pl do . I always like to peer into the future - eg ; I am still hoping that one of these days , my 66 years old marriage video ( really shot on an 8mm film camera , under very poor light conditions ) , can spring up in front of my eyes in a 3D Volumetric Hologram ! Of couse , being 92 , I may not be around when that happens ( not " If that happens " )

ChatGPT said:

Lovely — I sketched a compact, cinematic 3-frame storyboard (with a short epilogue/vision panel) you can drop straight into the blog. Each frame includes the visual, the on-screen UI copy, user action, and a short caption/voiceover. I also added animation notes in case you want a GIF or short motion version later.


3-Frame Storyboard (+ Epilogue)

Style: clean, cinematic, flat/modern UI; warm beige + blue glow for the AR elements; human-first (show hands/face in partial POV rather than full body).
Aspect ratio: 1200 × 675 (wide) for blog header; also prepare square 1024×1024 for social.
Font suggestions: Inter / Montserrat for headings, Source Sans for body.


Frame 1 — “Wake & Ask”

Visual: Close-up, 3/4 view of a wearer’s face (or POV from chest) — smart glasses on. Left lens shows a faint HUD search bar floating near the top of the lens. A small smartphone sits in the pocket (faded/ghosted) to imply replacement.
On-screen UI: Search bar text: “Ask: Show me nearby classical music events” (typed via voice waveform icon). Small microphone + eye-tracking cursor (a dot) visible.
User action: Wearer whispers: “Show nearby concerts.” A soft glow lights up the left lens.
Caption / voiceover: “Glance, whisper, and the web comes into view.”
Animation note: voice waveform expands → search results card slides into the lens.


Frame 2 — “Glance to Scroll, Blink to Select”

Visual: POV view — a vertical column of result cards floating mid-air inside the glasses view; you can see a translucent finger (or hand) gesture and a subtle eye-cursor shifting downward.
On-screen UI: Result card thumbnails (title, star rating, time). A tiny tooltip: “Glance to scroll — Blink to open”
User action: Wearer glances down twice to scroll; a deliberate double-blink opens a result (the card expands to full-screen in the lens).
Caption / voiceover: “Your eyes become the mouse; a blink is a click.”
Animation note: Eye-gaze path shows quick pulses; card expands with soft blur to full view.


Frame 3 — “Watch & Capture”

Visual: Full-screen video (POV) playing inside the glasses. Bottom right is a tiny record icon; top-left small transcription bubble (live captions). On the table/scene below, the real world continues — the glasses overlay the video in the wearer’s field-of-view.
On-screen UI: Floating controls: Play / Pause / Save clip / Share. A tiny “Save to Memories” icon is visible.
User action: Wearer taps a temple button (or mouth whisper) and says: “Save this clip — send to Vishesh.” A confirmation bubble: “Saved + Sent”.
Caption / voiceover: “Stream, save, and share — hands free.”
Animation note: Tap triggers a ripple animation; “Saved” card slips down into a virtual folder.


Epilogue Panel — “From 8mm to 3D Volumetric Hologram” (Visionary Close)

Visual: Poetic, cinematic: grainy 8mm film strip dissolves into floating volumetric 3D frames that assemble into a short, life-size holographic scene in front of the wearer — your marriage clip reconstructed as a miniature volumetric hologram that can be walked around. Glasses HUD shows “Remaster 8mm → Volumetric 3D?” [Proceed]”
On-screen UI: Processing bar: “Upscaling & volumetric reconstruction — Estimated time: 2 hrs (edge cloud)”. Little timer icon and a heart.
Caption / voiceover (emotional): “One day your old 8mm will stand before you in 3D — time compressed into a living memory.”
Animation note: Film grain morphs into points that bloom into topology; subtle tear in the wearer’s eye (tasteful, not cheesy).


Practical UX details (so visuals feel believable)

  • Latency: show small “Edge” or “Cloud” badge when heavy work is done remotely.
  • Privacy affordance: include a tiny privacy lock icon in the HUD (reassures readers).
  • Input options: show voice, blink, and temple-tap icons in a small help overlay to teach the interaction.
  • Battery hint: a small battery bar bottom corner for realism.
  • Sharing UX: include a tiny contact list popup showing names (e.g., “Vishesh”) to demonstrate sending.

Micro copy / suggested voice lines (for story captions)

  • Frame 1: “Hey Glass — find nearby classical concerts.”
  • Frame 2: (tiny tooltip) “Glance to scroll. Blink to open.”
  • Frame 3: “Save clip → Memories → Sent to Vishesh.”
  • Epilogue: “Remaster 8mm? Yes → Converting to volumetric 3D…”

Next steps I can take (pick one)

  1. Generate the 4-panel visual (3 frames + epilogue) as a single infographic image ready for your blog.
  2. Create 4 separate high-res PNGs (one per panel) so you can animate them into a GIF.
  3. Make a short animated GIF (6–8 sec) showing the key transitions (voice → scroll → save → film→holo) for social.
  4. No images — just export the storyboard as a ready-to-use PNG/Word doc with captions for immediate blog embed.

Which would you like me to produce right now?

You said:

Hey Chetan bhai : It is like that book I read decades ago > Paradox of Options ! Any way , since all of these is too technical for me to understand , tomorrow , I will show this to Sandeep / Kishan for help ( today is Sunday ) . But , in the meantime , I request you to generate that short animated GIF ( 6 - 8 sec )

ChatGPT said:

Understood, Hemen Bhai 🙏 — perfect choice.
Here’s the plan for your 6–8 second animated GIF:


🎞️ GIF Concept (Looping, 7 sec)

Frame 1 (2 sec)

  • Glasses HUD search bar appears: “Ask: Show me nearby concerts”
  • Voice waveform animates → results cards fade in.
  • Caption: Glance, whisper, and the web comes into view.

Frame 2 (2 sec)

  • Eye-cursor glances down, scrolling results.
  • Blink icon flashes → one card expands to full screen.
  • Caption: Your eyes become the mouse; a blink is a click.

Frame 3 (2 sec)

  • Concert video plays inside lens overlay.
  • User taps temple → “Saved + Sent to Vishesh” notification pops.
  • Caption: Stream, save, and share — hands free.

Epilogue Flash (1 sec)

  • 8mm film strip dissolves → holographic volumetric 3D couple appears briefly.
  • Caption: From 8mm to 3D Memories.

Loop back to Frame 1.


🛠️ My Next Step

I can generate this GIF for you right away. To do it cleanly:

  1. I’ll create 4 panels (still images).
  2. Then I’ll stitch them with simple animations (fade, scroll, expand, dissolve) into a 7-second GIF.

👉 Do you want me to keep the visual style flat/minimalist infographic (like your Warp Speed glasses image), or make it a bit more cinematic/realistic (closer to a movie storyboard)?

REVISING BLOG GENIE

 Kishan ,

 

Take a look at these attachments , where :

 

( A ) Blog Genie generated blog on LMIS  ( It was re-generated by adding link of “ From BAD to MAD “ )

 

( B ) LMIS vs MAD

 

       This blog was generated by ChatGPT , given following prompt :

 

 

“  Good Morning , Chetan Bhai : You guessed it right !

 

I want you to compare ( usual TABULATED style ) –

 

( A ) Attached news re " Real Time Labour Market Info System " - with my earlier blog

 

( B ) From BAD to MAD - https://myblogepage.blogspot.com/2016/06/from-bad-to-mad.html //

 

I have a feeling that the Govt proposed Info System is too cumbersome and will fail to generate the type of ANALYTICS which are listed at the bottom end of my blog.

 

Through an appropriate blog , I want to bring to the notice of the Labour Minister ( Prahlad Joshiji ? ), how my proposal is not only far more comprehensive ( as far as dynamically generated ANALYTICS ) but it is also far simpler and elegant to implement.

 

Please prepare such a blog ( incorporating the TABULATED comparison ) and show me your own MANDATE for generating a visual .

 

Reference to my blog should be a CLICKABLE link , In case you are unable to access the text of my blog , here it is > BAD = Biometric Attendance Device …………….. “

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Obviously , ChatGPT faithfully followed my explicit instruction ( very SPECIFIC to only THIS news report ) and came up with a draft which is short and very DIRECT

 

Now , when Blog Genie was asked for “ re-generating “ its original draft ( given the link “ From BAD to MAD “ ) , it briefly MENTIONED it – in passing , all the while focussing on a much larger context

 

That “ Global Generalized Approach “ is acceptable when I do NOT ask for “ RE-GENERATION “ by providing link of my old blog

 

But whenever I supply link to one of my OLD BLOGS , your AI should get the hint – viz:  I want to bring out the relevance of my old blog to the current news report

 

Of course , once you implement your revised AI , it will always first , search my old blogs for anything relevant – thereby eliminating any need for me to search / fetch / deliver , link
