Hybri allows you to interact with digital human partner with AI

We all know that it would be possible to create a completely personalized intelligent digital partner in the distant future. Thanks to Hybri, that is no longer the future, it is the present now. Augmented or Virtual reality lets you be with your AI partner in your room or in imaginary place without the need for expensive AR or VR glasses. With just your mobile phone, Hybri combines these two technologies to offer you a new digital life.

Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality explained

The term augmented reality (AR) was attributed to researcher named Thomas Caudell from 1990. The term Augment comes from the latin word ‘Augere’, which means ‘to increase’ or ‘to add’, which is why the augmented reality technology is designed to add to our existing reality. Augmented reality also known as mixed reality, which is very different than virtual reality. Unlike virtual reality (VR), the main purpose of augmented reality (AR) is NOT to cut out the real world and transport you to another one, but rather it is to be an enhancement of your real world with a set of magical virtual objects in it. In Augmented reality, a person’s real environment is supplemented or augmented with computer generated images with motion tracking. You have already used primitive forms of AR if you have played around with Pokemon Go or iPhone’s animoji during Facetime. With AR, objects can appear on tables, information can be displayed in floating windows on your wall and graphics can be generated while tracking their motion to the user’s field of view. The AR and VR technology directly affects the perceptions and process of the human mind and it is the only technology that can deliver actual packaged experiences. The underlying technology is very powerful and feasible. It is expected that by 2025, attractive AR and VR experiences will take a common place in our lives. If done right, these technologies show incredible potential. We have already seen products like Tilt Five that allows you to Play 3D Holographic Games on your table. We have also seen artificial intelligence being used in Deepfake technology to accurately replicate someone else’s face onto another person’s face.

What is Hybri

Hybri is a unique mixed reality app for mobile, that combines augmented reality and virtual reality, so that users can enter the world of their dreams through mobile devices. You can create a friend xor a romantic partner. The choice is yours.

There are three game modes to choose from: simple smartphone, augmented reality mode in AR / VR headset, VR mode in VR headset. You don’t have to buy an expensive mixed reality headset for the full experience; even a cardboard headset is enough. Voice controls make directing it even more comfortable. You don’t need any external hardware devices for hand control. The model created fits perfectly well in the real world environment due to the latest mobile AI technology. Artificial intelligence enables these play models to live independent lives in your homes. The models will miss you and want to talk to you or even want to argue with you according to their temperament.

The app asks you questions to determine your preferences about which partner would suit you best. You can change all of the settings later on as well. You can change the external parameters including eye color, hair, physique, and behaviors as well. You can even digitize and control a living person using the photo scan feature, you just need to upload a full face portrait into the app. Realic Inc has worked with designers and 3D artists to create the best experience, which restricts the app from running on only mid to high range phones. The app will run on iPhone 5S or higher and for Android devices similar to Galaxy S7 or higher. Hybri allows you to use your companion for anything you want, you can create your desired friends, lovers, partners and even your whole family.

It seems like Hybri will appeal more to users that are looking for a romantic partner with the use of augmented and virtual reality. The technology is very promising because it offers something that is currently not available on the market. If the software works as intended, it has the potential to address a very large demand in the digital era of the future. We are sure that we will see more and more apps that will offer similar options as actual human interactions are proving to be challenging for many individuals.
