<strong>why this project</strong>
-i love storytelling with technology, this is a showcase of a new type of onboarding to a larger storytelling universe. magical realism is merging of magical and reality; and this project merges digital magic with our physical reality. use tech to feel like a portal into an impossibly magical world / an illusion.
-humanization of AI to make it relatable. unique personality from data, and not a copy of an existing person.
-private PII needs to be localized
-culmination of my emerging tech program with focus on both AI and UX.
