The Original PuppyPresent Prototype

This is a prototype of a novel technology for virtualizing your family's dog. Utilizing cutting-edge machine learning and targeted video content of your dog from a fixed camera angle; we are able create a seamless scene of your dog living inside the screen. We don't generate new content of your dog, but we use machine learning to make the content that you have given us interactive and responsive to external information - making everything feel very life-like.

Please note that this product is a (fully-functioning) prototype as we are still getting feedback from our customers on where to take the product next. As such, it is being sold "as-is."

THE PROCESS

More detailed instructions will be emailed to you after your purchase. But from a high level:

STEP 1: Place your camera (Phone, Webcam, Dedicated Camera) in a stable spot. It should not move at all during the filming process. A tripod is best, but not necessary.

STEP 2: Start recording and film your dog for 30 minutes. Leave the camera recording the entire time. You should try to stay out of view of the camera as much as possible. In that 30 minutes, you will film a series of clips. Each clip should

1. Have your dog start off screen
2. Have your dog enter frame and do something interesting (a trick, lay down, sniff around, bark at the camera, etc)
3. Have your dog exit frame

STEP 3: Upload your 30 minute video to the link provided to you in your confirmation email.

SHIPPING

Once we have your video, we will start processing it which will take a fair amount of time. Expect your product to ship within 2 weeks of purchase.
