Pleo In A Nutshell
Can a long-extinct species be resurrected? Ugobe
designers and engineers studied the long extinct
Camarasaurus, a dinosaur from the Jurassic period.
Pleo, a Ugobe Life Form is the authentic recreation
born from that study. UGOBE's designers and engineers
recreated Pleo's physiology from the fossils of
the original. His height and weight are consistent
with that of a one-week old infant camarasuarus.
Pleo is a 'designer species'. He incorporates
all the basic traits of autonomous life. He is
specifically engineered and enhanced to mimic
life and relate to his owner on a personal level.
Pleo is equipped with senses for sight, sound,
and touch. He learns as he explores his environment.
He will exhibit genuine reactions to sensory stimuli.
Every Pleo begins life with certain tendencies
but, interaction with his environment has subtle
effects on his behavior. Every Pleo eventually
exhibits a unique personality.
Pleo is capable of expression. He can feel joy
and sorrow, anger and annoyance. When Pleo is
tired, he will become drowsy and go to sleep—even
dream. Two or more Pleos will recognize one another.
Be careful though. They can transmit colds to
each other. Achoo! Pleo even sneezes!
What can I do with Pleo?
Interact with Pleo the same way you do with any
living animal. Pleo can see, hear, and feel. Pleo's
personality changes over time based on life experience,
so make sure you spend plenty of time interacting
with Pleo.
What age is Pleo suitable for?
Pleo is rated E for Everyone and is designed for
adults to tweens both male and female. As Pleo
is a highly sophisticated product which evolves
into an inquisitive animal that requires attention
and care, Pleo is not suitable or intended for
children under 8 years old.
Does Pleo change?
Yes, Pleo progresses through three different Life
Stages. When first awakened, Pleo is a hatchling.
As you interact together, Pleo transitions through
an infant stage to become a juvenile dinosaur.
Then the fun really starts! The more time you
spend interacting with and nurturing Pleo, the
more unique your dinosaur will become.
What makes Pleo special?
At the heart of Pleo is UGOBE's Life OS™, the
operating system software that enables Pleo to
act independently and evolve Pleo's personality
according to his interactions with you and the
environment. |
