Animegaphone Turns Heads With Voice-Changing Tech
posted on by Jennifer Sherman
A megaphone that can change your voice into an anime character's may seem like a novelty, but Animegaphone's creators make a good case for its possible practical uses. The English-subtitled video below explains the concept:
In crowded situations, the voice of an anime character (or other attention-grabbing person) may help large masses of people pay attention and listen to instructions better than the voice of a generic security staff member. Animegaphone uses real-time voice-changing AI technology to change s' voices. Crimson Technology's "R.C. Voice" (ReaChan Voice) technology could let the megaphone's s become a singer at a concert venue or a company president at a large meeting.
For demonstration purposes, voice actors Makuhari Messe convention center in Chiba on February 18.
Animegaphone's makers have not confirmed whether they plan to actually release the device for purchase.
