Intellitar, Inc. was a Huntsville, Alabama-based company specializing in the creation and application of the intellitar, or "intelligent avatar". The Intelligent Avatar Platform (IAP) allowed a user to create and utilize an intellitar. Although there were some similarities between intellitars and other "chatbot" avatars, intellitars had several features that distinguished them from other interactive avatars that can be found on the Internet. The IAP technology allowed intellitars to be customized for use in a wide variety of applications.
Development[]
Development efforts behind the IAP technology began in Huntsville, Alabama and Los Angeles, California in early 2007. Development efforts have been focused on creating an avatar with literally the same personality, look, sound, and movements of its user. The long-term goal of Intellitar, Inc. is to develop an intellitar that can communicate flawlessly with humans, and pass the Turing Test. The only website offering the ability to create an intellitar using the IAP was www.virtualeternity.com.
The company closed down in 2012 because of intellectual property battles over the technology it used.[1]
