Interactive with real leaf plants and artificial emotions

GadgetFan - Reporting from Diginfo, Japanese researchers from Keio University is developing an interactive plant technology. Made with real leaves of plants can be your friend as yourself and react to you with a wide range of emotions.

The plant is above the box containing the sensor and a microphone that detects the surrounding area, the box was also composed of several actuators are connected to the plant with some wires. The researchers have developed various movements to convey the emotion of the plant. Movement patterns based on data obtained from the actuator, and actuator suggest appropriate movements in plants.

"The purpose of this system is to make the plant look more alive, and giving them a greater sense of presence of human life. To do this, we attach the actuator to the plants, so they have a more physical aspect, which can encourage communication between plants and humans. "Explained team of Japanese researchers
