Artificial Life releases V-Girl

Artificial Life has released a virtual girlfriend you can load onto your mobile phone. Suddenly all those joke e-mails about upgrading Virtual Girlfriend 1.0 to Wife 1.0 and losing all your other programs aren’t so funny, eh?
V-Girl

“The V-Girl Version 1.0 has several outstanding and unique product features: it uses artificial intelligence, text to speech, real time chat, sophisticated user profiling and user specific content delivery, high quality 3-D animations and graphics, context sensitive functions and menu icons, over 3000 different video and audio streams, build in user contests, games-in-game functions and offers intelligent, interactive product placement opportunities for sponsors and advertisers.”

Rather than being a substitute girlfriend for people who can’t get one, I suspect V-Girl will appeal to people who bought Tamagotchi and love The Sims. And perhaps those who just want to see whether or not they can get the girl naked. It’s a real possibility – in the promo on the Web-site there’s a shot of the lass wrapped in a towel.
