Project Overview

  • Name and Creator: Dipal D1 – World's First Curved Screen 3D AI Character Pod by Dipal.

  • What It Is: A compact, voice-interactive smart pod featuring an 8-inch 2.5K curved OLED screen that brings expressive 3D AI characters to life. More than just a display, Dipal D1 aims to be a customizable digital companion that responds to your voice, touch, gaze, and gestures, offering emotional feedback and serving as a smart assistant, all while ensuring data privacy.


Key Features

  • World's First Curved Screen 3D AI Character Pod: The Dipal D1 stands out with its 8-inch 2.5K (2560x1600) curved OLED screen, offering a truly immersive visual experience. This vibrant display, with 10-bit color support (over 1 billion colors), full DCI-P3 wide-gamut coverage, and an astonishing 4,300,000:1 contrast ratio, projects animated AI-powered characters with lifelike depth and realism.

  • True 3D Experience with Eye Tracking: Dipal D1 tracks your eye position in real-time, dynamically rendering the 3D display based on your perspective. This creates a hyper-realistic, holographic-style effect, making it feel like your character is truly present and reacting to your gaze.

  • Multimodal AI Interaction: The D1 offers intuitive and natural ways to interact:

    • Voice Recognition: It listens and responds in real-time, with natural language processing and "visemes" that perfectly sync lip movements to voice, making conversations fluid and lifelike.

    • Touch Interaction: The curved OLED screen is fully touch-responsive, allowing you to tap, swipe, rotate, zoom, and pose your characters directly.

    • Gesture Feedback: Dipal D1 recognizes your hand gestures and reacts instantly, creating a deeper sense of presence and play, with over 20 customizable responses.

    • Emotional AI: The in-house AI model with emotional memory allows your character to remember past interactions, adapt to your preferences, and develop emotional responses, making the relationship feel personal and evolving. It features 18 emotion states.

  • Customizable Digital Soulmate:

    • Character Import: Dipal D1 supports direct import of various 3D model formats including VRM, Vroid, MMD, FBX, and GLTF/GLB, allowing users to bring their own dream characters to life with one click.

    • Personality & Environment: Customize looks, voice, personality, quirks, and even the character's environment with 3D backgrounds from a marketplace or your own creations.

  • Smart Assistant & Smart Home Integration:

    • Beyond companionship, Dipal D1 acts as a smart personal assistant, setting alarms, reminders, and keeping your day on track.

    • With built-in microphones and temperature/humidity sensors, it can monitor your environment and assist with smart home control, adjusting ambiance based on mood.

  • Engineered Precision & Design:

    • Standing 20 cm tall, it features scientifically optimized tilt angles and a 42cc custom sound chamber for rich acoustics.

    • Efficient cooling is ensured by a dual-ring aluminum heat sink.

    • Physical buttons on top provide quick access to common functions like volume and brightness, and are customizable.

    • A programmable RGB base dynamically adapts to character moods and environmental cues.

    • Magnetic quick-release bases allow for effortless customization with various aesthetic styles (industrial, minimalist, gaming).

  • Portability & Connectivity: Roughly the size of a soda can, the Dipal D1 is ultra-portable. It supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.3, with a built-in rechargeable battery for on-the-go companionship. It includes a 30W unified Type-C charging and data port and a 3.5mm audio jack.

The Idea

  • Concept: To bridge the gap between digital interaction and emotional connection by creating a tangible, interactive 3D AI companion that goes beyond traditional smart assistants, offering personalized companionship and a sense of "digital soul."

  • Inspiration: The Dipal team, comprising engineers and anime-lovers, were inspired by earlier concepts like Gatebox but recognized the need for a more refined, mass-producible, and technologically advanced AI companion. After nearly three years of development, Dipal D1 is born from their passion to bring dream characters to life and redefine human-AI connection. They envision Dipal D1 as a "gateway into a new kind of connection," offering comfort, companionship, creativity, and a spark of joy, allowing users to build a bond that feels truly personal and responsive.
