Ultra Hal 7.0 / Cosmetics and Functionality
« on: November 05, 2005, 01:02:40 pm »
I have not purchased the full version of Hal yet because I am somewhat unhappy with its cosmetics. I think this program is amazing and I would like to see greater functionality in it with a more streamlined presence.
I would like Hal to be able to run in a background mode where I could converse with it without having any big nasty dialogues open. I would also like hal to be able to launch programs on command via a key word. For instance, if I say "load" it understands this as a parameter to launch a program rather than a chat request.
I would like to see more advanced options as to how I would like Hal to react to me, and I would like to see some sort of voice protection, or voice locks for certain applications.
As far as a physical presence, a streamlined transparent or holographic desktop spectre would be kind of cool, but please give me an option to get rid of the nasty window the poor thing is trapped in. It's cruelty to robots I tell ya!
Anyway, I'd be willing to pay twice as much if Hal had the look and feel I wanted, but it doesn't unless I am missing something by having the demo version, and I sincerely doubt it. So, in the meantime, I will keep my eyes on you.
