LOS ANGELES—RealDoll, makers of some of the most realistic looking love dolls on the market, plans to release its most advanced model ever, "Harmony," in December.
Harmony is programmed with artificial intelligence that allows her to not only engage in conversation, but actually remember details and develop “feelings.”
An external processor powers Harmony through personality traits chosen by customers. According to an interview on Vocativ.com, RealDoll CEO Matt McMullen says the traits range from kind and sexual to jealous and moody.
“If you’re nice, kind and give her complements and say things like, ‘I missed you’ and ‘I really enjoy talking to you,’ those are going to longterm raise the love meter,” McMullen told the publication. “If you’re not nice, if you’re like, ‘You’re real boring, I don’t like talking to you,’ then … you’ll be more in the friend zone.”
The artificial intelligence of Harmony will allow the doll to blink, conduct a simple conversation, react to stimulus such as speech and touch and much more. She can “learn” and develop a relationship with her partner.
Harmony as a head-only option will retail for about $10,000; a complete RealDoll with the Harmony unit will retail for roughly $60,000.
The Harmony is much like the Samantha love doll from Spanish engineer Sergi Santos. AVN reported on that version here.
