NetNavi Core

With this collection of modules, it should be relatively easy to create your own NetNavi.

Requirements

• MongoDB
• Node.js and npm
• Sass

Run

• npm install
• npm start
• visit netnavi.local in the browser

NOTE: I develop on macOS and this project requires admin privilege to run. On macOS, we use sudo and that's automatically included in the npm start command. If you're on Windows, you can edit the package.json file to remove that line. If you're on Linux, you're fine but this project might not run anyway, due to a module that hasn't been tested on your platform. I'll test Linux eventually.

Background

Emotion/Personality

• This one's tricky...in the anime/games, NetNavis installed with an "Emotion Program" were able to show personality and emotion. NetNavis without an Emotion Program were basically Mr Progs or assistant NetNavis for work-related tasks (maybe security bots as well). However, Mr Progs seemed to develop personality in later games, DESPITE STILL SPEAKING IN ALL CAPS.

Hearing

• Voice recognition

Sight

• Face/Image recognition

Speech

• Voice synthesis
• Should be customizable

Thought

• Elaborate if/then/else statements. That's all A.I. is these days, really.

Scenarios

1. With Hearing and Sight activated, users could unlock their computers with their face or voice.

2. While working on a project, user could use Speech to tell NetNavi to look up something on the Internet. A background browser window would open with the result.

3. User could ask NetNavi for their Thoughts on something. This would probably be restricted to comparing one thing to another, to start.
