Avatar Therapy Revised.

Authors: Bheemaiah, Anil;

Avatar Therapy Revised.

Abstract

This paper describes a revision of the Avatar Therapy, also known in the published literature as the Computer Voice Assisted Therapy. A Plushie based version of the therapy is described with two innovations from Vayu Vaidya, a R&D organization directed by the author, Pillow-Buddies(™) and Cuddles(™). The use of AWS Polly for timbre and pitch based control of the computer assisted voice is described. A framework for describing the positification and optimism templates for conversational UI design is described, based on the C+ language.Keywords: C+ Language, positification template, optimism template, AWS Polly, Avatar Therapy, Computer voice assisted therapy, conversational UI, Amazon Alexa Skills, Infotainment, Vayu Vaidya. What:Avatar therapy has failed, in FDA approval or in the form of on-screen based avatar, Since people relate to material objects, the customized cartoon to plushies software service by Vayu Vaidya allows you to sketch an avatar and customize the ‘voice’ in the Plushie, using Polly or Lex and choose standard template responses for Positification and Optimism. (See Bheemaiah 2019, See-Positive or C+)How:Cartoons are drawn by the patient and converted to polishes with an embedded Bluetooth speaker. This connects to any device with a browser that can download JavaScript files to run a lex based conversational UI with Positification templates. The Lex UI also has templates for optimism and mood molding, to uplift your emotional makeup similar to Replika.ai.So What:Clinical Trials are the next step in proving the efficacy of revised avatar therapy, I an a companion paper I describe, my clinical experiences with the revised avatar therapy both in imaginary friends as iconized by the cartoon series “Calvin and Hobbes”, and in mitigation of threats and negative voices in both the workplace and home, using revised avatar therapy for avatar dissolution.(Mayor 2017; T.
