Many companies that deal with user experience with digital devices invest resources in the implementation of virtual assistants. Besides the possibility of interacting with the machine through dialogue, the next tools of this type will be able to anticipate the wishes and needs of the user.

 

As with the red eye of the HAL900 character in the film "2001: a space odissey", an artificial intelligence needs a visual object, so that the user can recognize it as a family presence.

Technogym fitness equipment, which already integrates an operating system to manage cards, TV series and music, could integrate an assistant to help the user during the workout.

 

AIM is a virtual assistant who has three different personalities depending on the person in front of him. By performing a test, AIM takes on a personality that suits SHAPE users (keeping fit), POWER (wants to become more athletic) or BALANCE (trains for fun).
