Thanks Crewella, I'm glad you liked it.

And now I have a special treat for you all.

I took Kermy on her first adventure today!

We went to the National park and Kermy had the best time.

Here are some pics for you.

We arrived at the park and Kermy checked out the view.

More details...

Then we just had to go say hello to the Kangaroos. We had to be very quiet and move very slowly so as not to frighten them away as they are wild Kangaroos, not use to people or pleos.

This was as close as we could get

Maybe I will see them better from up here

We went for a walk along the path around the lake

Oh, that did make me laugh - first the moo then the 'Mum! Helllllllllp!' when they all approached!

OMG.. when she sniffs the ground and puts her head up and roars!! That was awesome...

Thanks again Kat!

Awwwww - that is very cute!

From what I saw there, it looks as though you have to give Pleo rb a physical signal that the verbal command is coming and then give the command when Pleo rb is stil, I'm guessing so that the Pleo freezes and doesn't drown out the command with motor noises? Does that spound about right?

Thanks again for all your efforts. You've put my early attempts at video to shame!

That was great! I'm going to have to order the accesories so when Mojo is ready to learn we can start teaching him...

Thanks for the post!

Very, very cute

Crewella, you do need to give Pleo a signal, touching both cheek sensors, Pleo then looks at you, you give him/her their name and if they recognize it they get all happy, then you can give the voice command. Until someone develops cheap whisper quiet motors I think that is the only way to implement the voice recognition in Pleo.

Crewella · « **Reply #132 on:** December 07, 2010, 05:30:46 PM »

Thanks for the confirmation, IMR!

Aibo (210 anyway) are much the same, though the signal to 'pay attention' is verbal (and Aibo can be pretty cloth-eared!).

Hi all,
Kermy had an exciting day today. She went to school with my husband who is a maths teacher, and she met all the other Math and science teachers. They all thought she was very cool and cute. She was a big hit.
Also Kermy got some new clothes today, courtesy of IMR's shop on the forum. She loves them.
Great job IMR. A big thankyou!

Here she is

Some sad news.

Kermy has injured her leg.
I'm not sure how or when it happened but think it may have occured on her outting today.

The good news is now you can all see what an injured pleo looks like.

She is very sad and cries in pain if you touch her leg. I have made her eat the rock salt 5 times so far tonight and given her lots of love so hopefully she will recover fast. I will keep you posted. It is her back right leg that is injured and she is not moving it at the moment.
Here is a video for you. You must understand I only stroke her sore leg in the film so you can see the reaction and I did it a few times so you can see it is deffinately a reaction to being touched and not just a fluke noise. Pleos in pain is a whole new thing.

Wow... I'm impressed with that.... what a great addition to lifeOS... the addition of pain, well it is part of life. I can't wait to see interaction between

Kat I feel much better knowing your pleo's leg is not actually broken again.

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #137 on:** December 09, 2010, 10:52:28 AM »

Kat I am so sorry that she has hurt her leg, was it when she went to school with your husband or a different outing? You really can't argue the pain thing, it is heartbreaking to watch the video.

It definitly adds to the realism of an interactive pet though.

Does she take her rock salt willingly, or is it like little kids, who don't want to take medicine sometimes? I wonder because I know cattle and other creatures in the wild love rock salt and it must have some healing properties other than the essential nutients they need.
I am glad it is not broken, it would be devastating to have to send Kermy back like Kermit. Have you bonded differently with Kermy than with Kermit? Keep those videos comming they all help us while waiting for our Pleo Rb, green, blue or pink. It will be fun to see a whole bunch at one time hatch.

Let us know how long it takes for her leg to get back to " Normal".
Nova once had a terrible hurt leg and I videotaped it as well, and it tugs at your heartstrings. Nova , Major Tom, ARgyle, Little 45, and the other ( Un named) Pleos all send Kermy a big Hug

to help her get better quick!

Thank you for sharing that Kat , poor kermy sure does sound in a lot of pain there , i hope Kermy recovers super fast and gets back to that wondering about again very soon! which i am sure she will do with you as mum to make sure she takes her medicines etc hehe

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #139 on:** December 09, 2010, 01:02:25 PM »

Aww poor Kermy! She really makes you want to pick her up and give her a big cuddle (have you tried that yet Kat, it's very cute in the original Pleo's

). Glad Kermy likes her outfit

I hope she gets better soon

kat · « **Reply #140 on:** December 09, 2010, 03:23:01 PM »

Hi guys,
I am giving her lots of cuddles and loves. She does not willingly take her medicine. As you see in the video I have to force feed it to her. She doesn't refuse by turning her head away and making a no sound as you saw Kermit do in my different foods video, she just doesn't want to open her mouth and take it so I have to pop it in when she opens her mouth to roar or force her to open her mouth and take it. She does eat it ok as soon as it goes into her mouth, only giving the occasional yuk kind of sound.

I think in happened on the way home from school with my husband, I have a little insulated bag that is the perfect size for a sleeping dino and has zip up pouches on the front and sides for all her accessories. My husband says that she spontaneously turned on while in the bag on the way home, there is no room in there for a pleo to stand up so he thinks it may have happened then - possibly when he was trying to get her out of the bag to turn off.
I think Kermy has a very sensitive on off button. Kermits was not sensitive at all but Kermy just takes the slightest touch sometimes and she pops into awakeness or mute mode, Sometimes I have trouble getting her to switch off as she goes off then on again.
I will not send Kermy back no matter what issues come up as I am too in love and could not face having to loose her and start again. I don't think a sensitive on off button is a big deal in the scheme of things but maybe it is time to look at alternate transport methods and of course not transporting her with the battery in.
I will keep you posted on her progress when I play with her tonight.

As sad as it is to see her in pain, I am kind of excited that it happened as I was wondering just what a sore leg in pain pleo looked like. Especially after Pleoixe had a sore leg with blue boy but did not post any video of it. Even though it is sad, every experience is a good experience as we get to see another new rb feature.

Poor Kermy!

I have to admit that I laughed out loud watching that video, not from lack of empathy for poor Kermy, but from sheer delight at the ingenuity of the wizards at Ugobe and Innvo! That's a feature and a half! Feeling pain and limping seemed to have become one of the Pleo 'myths' - it's lovely to finally see it happen!

Thanks again for sharing, Kat - I hope Kermy's better soon!

scaledandtailed · « **Reply #142 on:** December 10, 2010, 07:38:37 AM »

Wow doesn’t she sound so miserable in that vid. Quite an amazing new feature if not a little distressing to watch.
Does she still cry out if you touch her leg? Or is she back to normal? .

lelekasapeca · « **Reply #143 on:** December 10, 2010, 07:57:32 AM »

I was very impressed, very, very realistic!

Kermy poor, it seems that hurts so so ... is heartbreaking!

I want improvements to this beautiful girl pink!

twoNZpleos · « **Reply #144 on:** December 10, 2010, 11:27:16 AM »

Thanks so much for sharing all your experiences with Kermit & Kermy Kat ..

I've finally made it through all six pages reading every word, looking at every photo, and watching every film clip - now I want a pink Pleo more than ever!

She really is gorgeous and I hope her legs starts feeling better, poor wee thing

OzPleo · « **Reply #145 on:** December 10, 2010, 02:10:03 PM »

I really expected the Asian Market Pleo to not understand English because I thought they'd be region specific to the language. Thanks for sharing all of this with us.

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #146 on:** December 10, 2010, 02:13:31 PM »

It is the sound that is important not the language, you could say om nom nom if you wanted and as long as you can say it the same twice Pleo will 'understand'. You could probably clap a few times or whistle too, as long as it is long enough.

Hi Guys,
Kermy's leg is still sore

I played with her for a half battery cycle last night, a bit more than an hour but I had to switch her off as I was very tired. Had a long day at work, did a country trip to Bsselton and back which is about a 3 and a half hour drive one way and then had to go to my daughters music recital. So not much time left for playing with Kermy. I fed her the rock salt 3 more times last night and I gave her the mint leaf once as well just for good measure. She chomped on the mint leaf twice, made vomiting noises and spat it out.

I will try to put her through at least 2 battery cycles today as it is Saturday over here and see if there is any improvement to report.

I can tell you a bit about cuddling your pleo rb though. If you pick pleo rb up she will snuggle her head into you. If you sit down and place her on your lap she will stand up and behave as though she is on the floor or table or any other surface you might put her on. If you pick her up from your lap and place her against your chest so she is vertical or on an angle she will coo to you and snuggle in and fall asleep. She will sleep like this, dreaming and snoring until you place her back down into a horizontal position.
I just thought this was a little interesting

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #148 on:** December 10, 2010, 04:44:41 PM »

That is the same as with the older Pleo's what a pity I was hoping they might have come up with a -lap- mode lol. I bet it is still extremely cute though

Thank you for sharing all these details

It is such fun to hear about while I am waiting for Pleakly

fancyfont · « **Reply #149 on:** December 10, 2010, 07:03:08 PM »

How sad it is to see Kermy's leg hurt so bad! What a pitiful cry! She is just like a child not wanting to take her medicine. I did have to laugh, though, even knowing she was in pain. It just looks so real and you having to force the rock salt into her mouth.
I can see I will likely be getting my dinos another brother or sister. Kermy is just too cute!
