Loona just got a new software update. Feel this has improved Loona a million times compared to previous updates.
Now you can easily direct Loona to come over to you using natural language and she will calmly hang out by your feet which makes her feel more present and like a proper companion.
A post by a Loona owner in Japan mentioned Keyi have moved from Amazon LEX to OpenAI’s Whisper for voice commands and you really notice the difference.
Loona also seems better at noticing the owner. I find if you want Loona to come over to you and hang out by your feet first you have to get her to turn to face you. I use the improvised commands “Hello Loona turn around” or “turn backwards” and when she is facing my direction I say “Hello Loona follow me” or “move closer” and she usually comes right up to my feet to chill out.
This is exactly the type of thing I wanted in a companion robot and was just about to sell Loona as previously she would just go right past you and randomly move about with no direction. At least now we can easily coax her over to us.
The chat mode is much improved and I’m loving the new chat animations. Unsure if Loona is using Advanced Voice Mode or not. I’m unsure what other differences they have implemented but took a screenshot of the update in case anyone is interested.
I couldn’t get the new hand gesture to work but find the command “move closer” works.
Genuinely enjoyed interacting with Loona today for the first time in a long time, spent about two hours with her. Feel you could probably leave her on all the time after this update.
