Feel like sharing? Talk to a robot

Can you have a meaningful interaction with a machine? That’s the question posed by BlabDroids, the company making the world’s first documentary shot entirely by robots. The premise of the film builds on the Eliza Effect, the theory that people open up more willingly to machines than people.

A BlabDroid is a surrogate robot avatar, programmable to contain your voice, ideas, questions, personality, or the downloadable personalities of others. It can film, as well as educate its owners with quizzes, games and surprising interviews. Whether they’ll be revealing their innermost secrets to these robots, well, we’ll just have to wait for the documentary!
