Virtual Echo

by Peter Jolly

Ever wanted a pint-sized Eliza Dushku running around your computer monitor? Well now you can.

Virtual Echo is an application released by Fox which uses Adobe Air to put Echo on your computer. You can interact with her, or just let the nine random persona’s appear and leave you a little message as you go about skiving off browsing the internet.

With Desktop Echo you can turn any computer into your own little Dollhouse by installing a miniaturised Echo on screen who will appear at regular interviews to help motivate you as you work.

You can increase the interaction with Augmented Reality Echo, print out a Dollhouse card icon and by holding it up to your webcam you can control a digital hologram of Echo.

You can download Virtual Echo here: Dollhouse | Virtual Echo

And here’s a video tutorial on what the application does.
