Samsung, after creating a lot of hype, finally unveiled “Project Neon” last year at CES. This year, the company took a step further and brought its Artificial Humans, known as NEONs, into the real world in the form of three commercial products.
The Neon View
Now, the Neon View is essentially an app designed for smartphones and other portable devices. It will be more like a smarter digital assistant with which you can chat over text or video call anytime and anywhere to have a face-to-face conversation. The NEON will interact with you in real-time and answer your queries in a dynamic and more intelligent way, much like Microsoft’s Xiaoice chatbot, thanks to Samsung’s Core R3 a.k.a “Reality. Realtime. Responsive” technology.
Coming to the Neon Frame, this is an actual, physical device that comes as a huge 4K display based on the Neon platform. Samsung describes it as its “life-size immersional portal that brings NEON into the real world” as it is designed to help users interact with a Neon avatar in a way that they would in the real world.
Now, the third product, the Neon Studio is more like a digital software made for businesses and content creators to create content without any external help. A user can feed any kind of script to make an artificial human, in this case, a NEON, narrate them with the right emotions, expressions, and timing.
