Inspiration

Inspiration #1 - Luxo Jr

I drew inspiration from Pixar's famous short film, Luxo Jr - how an inanimate object portrays emotions through its movements and gestures. Additionally, I found a lot of 3D models of Luxo Jr. on the internet. As they are mostly open-source projects, I could modify these designs to model the lamp.

Inspiration #2 - Peeqo

The second source of inspiration is Peeqo, a voice activated desktop companion that responds entirely through GIFs. It is a quirky personal assistant with a lot of personality, and can be customized in many ways to ensure productivity and entertainment. Setting timers & scheduling tasks by voice and keeping track of productivity of the user is handled by the open source code base of Peeqo, and combining that with the unique animatronics of Luxo Jr. delivers a highly entertaining voice based personal assistant.

Built with @kanekoshoyu Luxo won itself a place at the first ever InnoShow at HKU!
