Purpose
Purpose
SOULINK is a conceptual AI-integrated device designed to establish emotional resonance between users and machine companions.
The system focuses on creating ambient, emotionally responsive interactions rather than task-oriented automation.
It leverages existing mature technologies to create a realistic, accessible, and sustainable deployment without relying on high-cost, multi-threaded AI infrastructures.

Core Technological Components
Core Technological Components
Voice Interaction Systems
· Integration with mature voice assistant APIs such as Amazon Alexa Voice Service (AVS), Google Assistant SDK, or Apple SiriKit.
· Utilization of natural language processing modules optimized for lightweight, embedded hardware use.
· Example Reference: AVS Device SDK, Google Assistant Library for Python
Artificial Intelligence Core
· Implementation of local, lightweight AI models, e.g., Qwen-7B, DeepSeek, Mistral 7B, ChatGPT.
· Focus on emotional context recognition, simplified dialogue, and memory management without extensive cloud dependency.
· Example Reference: Huggingface Transformers on-device deployment, llama.cpp for mobile and embedded systems
Smart Home Integration
· Adoption of open protocols such as Matter, Zigbee, or Apple HomeKit for seamless device interoperability.
· Support for environmental sensing (light, temperature, humidity) to enhance ambient interaction quality.
· Example Reference: Matter SDK (connectedhomeip), Smart Home Assistant integrations (Google Home, Gemini)
Wearable Feedback Systems
· Data collection from wearables capable of monitoring heart rate, skin conductivity (GSR), movement, and temperature.
· Use of collected biometrics strictly for emotional resonance adjustment, not for medical diagnosis or treatment.
· Example Reference: Polar H10 Heart Rate Sensor API, Empatica E4 Research SDK, Apple iWatch.
Immersive Visual Systems
· Optional integration of holographic projection or augmented reality devices for ambient display enhancement.
· Focus on atmospheric resonance rather than full simulation or escapism.
· Example Reference:
· Looking Glass Factory holographic displays
· Nreal Light AR glasses
Plasma Sphere Interaction Interface
· Integration of a transparent plasma globe as a tangible emotional interface.
· Touch interactions with the plasma sphere modulate energy filaments within the globe, symbolizing real-time emotional resonance.
· Different types of physical contact (single-finger touch, multi-finger touch, palm press) can trigger distinct emotional modes or states within SOULINK.
· Example Reference: DIY Plasma Globe Kits (low-voltage versions), Tesla coil-based touch reactive devices
