A DiJi is an emanation, a hologram created by proprietary Wallace Corp technology. Emanators project an ultrasonic image with real-time rendering and haptic feedback to recreate a fully interactive 3D digital person with a physical sense of density and volume.
CORPOREAL FORM: DiJis are weightless projections lacking a corporeal form, so they cannot touch
real objects or people. However, they can emulate the sensation of touch through static electricity and haptic feedback. Emanations can also control their opacity. They always appear slightly translucent, but they can increase or decrease the translucence of their projection at will.
APPEARANCE : DiJis normally take idealized human forms of beauty. Yet as beauty is subjective, DiJis can be preset to any sex, gender, and body type. DiJis may only project themselves as adults, but DiJis can also simulate natural age progression and visually grow older if the user so chooses. Once these presets are determined, they cannot be changed. After that, only cosmetic personalizations like hair style and clothing are available. DiJis can “rolodex” through endless options at will, changing their cosmetic appearance to suit any need or desire in an instant.
MOBILITY : The base DiJi model is only projected from static consoles installed in the ceilings and walls of the user’s home. The system 3D maps the environment and projects the Emanation within the space at all times, emulating the same lighting and environmental effects as any other physical object in that space. If it is warm, they will sweat. If wind blows, their hair and clothes will rustle in the same breeze. They even cast shadows, all to seamlessly create the perfect simulation of sharing a space with a real companion.
