Augmented-reality startup Magic Leap unveiled its new AI during a conference on Wednesday,Oct. 10.
Dubbed Mica, the virtual assistant can be seen through the startup’s augmented reality glasses called Magic Leap One.
Mica can be used to turn on or off smart domestic devices such as TVs, and stereo systems,and lights. It can also answer detailed questions such as a person’s favorite songs from a concert attended one year ago, albeit the company did not interpret how the AI learns this information.
One of the most impressive things about the newly unveiled AI is that it looks and acts like a human. CNN reported that the AI looks very realistic that people can mistake her for an actual human. Mica makes eye contact, or offers a smile,and shows other human-like expressions.
Magic Leap’s vice president of human-centered AI John Monos said that when Mica smiled, people smile back. When Mica yawns, and a contagious social behavior,Magic Leap’s test subjects yawned too.
