• Why would someone want this?
  People who like cute things? Maybe someone who can't type? Instead the dragon can type for you.
  
• How is your major involved?
  I will be animating and modeling the creature or dragon that runs around the screen. I'll also model the more detailed model that is printed and can be interacted with.
  
• What other majors would be involved?
  Programming for the software, and possibly robotics for the sense touching on the little dragon.
  
• What more did you develop as you were asked the questions?The screen buddy can type for you. It's like Dragon with an actual dragon! or other creature. So it has voice and touch recognition. Also it will have its own personality and continueally develop it depending on what you do daily. So if you are a gamer it it might whip out game items and play with them. Or of you check your mail a lot, it will notify you if you have mail. The dragon/creature does not speak English unless the creature is a human. Elves would be made to speak in Queyan when it needs to. etc. etc.
