Installation (Setting up the end-user device)
Depending on where and on which device you want to use your Avatar, there are a few best practices that we would like to share with you below.
Open the browser on your target device, e.g. your smartphone, computer, smart TV and open the following link: https://go.plural.io/s/9c453bf582.
Try to talk to Albert and touch the buttons. Does Albert understand you well? Does it run smoothly on your device? Does the avatar recognize you right away? If not, you may need to install external hardware such as a camera, microphone, or touchscreen, or your device may not have enough processing power.
For example, you want to take your avatar to a trade show. Keep in mind that there will be a lot of background noise, a poor Internet connection, and poor lighting (such as backlighting). Investing in a good microphone, camera, and some lights is highly recommended.
Also, a trade show floods its guests with impressions. To cope with this, a large screen will attract more attention than a small screen.
We are still trying out different hardware to find the best practices and have already found some that we can recommend. Please contact our support team if you would like to get a recommendation.
