Brain Storming:
About the Character:
- Pakistani guy
- Outsourced Phone operator really bored at his job
- About to graduate college with a computer science degree
- His dream is to leave everything, move to Amrica and be a comedian.
- “I’m funniE”
Things I need to do to make him real:
- Make him a Naseeb/ facebook/ myspace/ profile
- Create a drivers license
- Create his desk space because thats what people can see over the web cam when interacting with him
- Maybe pic of friends in the background
Tools to make Assif work:
- Max/MSP (he reacts to sound and motion, but I wont be able to make him talk
- Flash (animate his entire interaction and make invisible buttons for Yes and No interaction)
- Flash along with VXML 2.0 ( animate the character in Flash or After Effects and since its to Vxml look into how to sync the two together)
- I could do the script in vxml with “if, else” statements with the answers being YES and NO so the interaction branches out depending on the audiences response.
- I can code the script in vxml and then use Skype to call the phone number vxml provides me with and that way the character and the audience and can have live interaction.
- The character will be projected on the big screen and the mic on my laptop will be used for the voice interaction
- Look into incoming sound like the audio waves when playing music it doesn’t react to the microphone
How can I make it so it recognizes incoming sound as opposed to microphone sound?
Other names for the Character:
Assif Butt
Harpreet Sing, Call me “harry”
Junaid Bin Abdullah, Call me “Ju”
Preety Ready, Call me “Pretty” Everyone does!
Script MUST be FUNNY!
(I could use my voice and make .wav files or mp3 files and insert that into the vxml )

ideas:
- Assif call me Ass (character who interacts with me) Max/MSP sound recognition, motion, voice recognition, possibly C++ mouse interaction
- A doll that says “hug me” and then says “dont touch me”!
- Character linked through webcam
- use voice interpretation , what phone companies use to recognize voice. use skype as the reader and then use an api to make it work. Talk to Albert about this as well.
