Okay. Who would like to see their pet/s going on fantastic, beautifully animated adventures?
I can see quite a few hands up…
Take a photo of your cat or dog and moments later they’re in an interactive video experience for you to play with on your phone.
Check in for a few minutes each day and they’ll have been off travelling the world, getting up to mischief, catching sunshine, chasing shadows, while bringing back paintings of local scenery and souvenirs for your collection.
It’s not a lookalike. It’s your pet. With the same markings, the same face – maybe even the same attitude, though that’s difficult to pull from a 2D image – for now! Perhaps we could incorporate text prompts: jumpy, skittish, floppy, curious, sedentary (except at mealtimes).
The tricky bit right now is the sheer complexity — there’s a lot of real-time generation and a lot of workflow that requires time to optimise.
Development is currently paused as we have so many other ideas and experiments in the pipeline and only so much capacity, so here’s a little preview ‘ad’ I made to give you a flavour, and if we gauge some interest, you never know, we may pick it up and work on a playable demo for you…
What sort of features would you like to see?
And what kind of adventures (or mischief) would you like to see your pet get up to?
Let us know in the comments.
