Cyberive

About the Project

Core Mechanism

Each slime embodies an emotional theme. By analyzing the environment through captured images, the system generates context-aware prompts and subtle directions. Users respond through photography and voice descriptions. The system evaluates resonance with the chosen theme and provides immediate feedback and rewards, transforming open-ended wandering into a sustained experiential loop.

Experience Loop

Drift → Record → Reward → Incubate

Prototype

The portable prototype is built on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, featuring dual displays (LCD for visuals, OLED for dialogue), a camera for environmental capture, and an I2S microphone for voice and ambient sound input. A Python-based state machine orchestrates multimodal perception and generative feedback. Core functions—including prompt generation, visual/text output, and interactive flow—have been validated.

Significance

Cyberive shifts prompts from static instructions to situated generation, transforms documentation into a memory-and-motivation system, and introduces character growth through incubation. It reframes urban wandering as an embodied, reflective, and evolving dialogue between human perception and artificial intelligence.
