Synthetic Interview Software Technology
Harrisburg University is home to one of two Synthetic Interview Studio Labs in the nation. The CMU-patented software technology allows users to interact in real time with a human personality. A person can ask any question and the technology will search all possible questions in its database. A pre-recorded answer will then be played that best answers the questions posed by the guest. This allows people to chat with their favorite scientists, entertainment, sports, or political figures—dead or alive. Synthetic Interviews can bring this experience into every home and school, and the technology has given life to a myriad of characters from Albert Einstein to Benjamin Franklin.
