Patent ID: 10628635

Abstract:
A conversational holographic assistant displays a computer-generated human-like hologram capable of carrying on conversations in real-time with a user, remembering things about past interactions with the user to make the conversation realistic and more human-like. The system is intended to be utilized in retail, office, business and personal settings to provide service to users. The holographic person can interact with retail point of sale systems in order to process orders on behalf of a user, provide users with detailed directions, and answer questions about the holographic person's surroundings, among other things. In some settings, the holographic person can integrate with existing internet of things devices. The holographic person is implemented through the use of a user recognition component, a user input component, an interpreter component, a machine-readable text processor component, a text-to-audio generator component and a text-to-visual display generator component, and an output processor component.
