So uh I was going to make another weird advertisement-type thing again, but decided that would take too long and I haven't got the skills to pull it off properly. (and I also have stuff that people are waiting on me to draw and don't want to spend the entire night working on this;;)
Handphones! I like the thought of phones that can do just about anything.
This brand's the most popular. Comes in many different models (named after the Subeta pets) and colours (named after the Subeta pet colours).
The most notable features of these newfangled phones is that they can generate solid holograms. I'm not entirely sure what they're made of. Yet. (i.e. I haven't come up with a pseudoscience explanation for it)
Holograms have to incorporate the phone as part of the hologram's structure, like so-
Of course that would be a knife with a very wide handle. Frankly I'm not sure what you'd use this feature for- if you used it to make a holographic bag, you'd have problems making calls, because that would mean having to drop all the items inside the bag to retrieve the phone in a state that it can make calls in.
Uhm.
Anyway.
A second, rather more battery-draining feature of the phone is that it can make detached holograms that are sort of like...pets, I guess. It started off as a cute mail client that would dance around on your table every time you got an email. Then it sort of became wildly popular. These holograms are generally called summons because...it sounds cool.
There's a signal range to the hologram, so you can't have it move outside of that range. Also, you control them by voice mostly. You need a password (which is the phone's name) and a recorded command for that. Voice recognition here, so other people can't do anything about it unless they've got a voice excessively similar to yours.
Summons are like puppets- they don't have any ability to think or do stuff of their own will. Unless you install an AI program. Nothing on the market can truly pass the Turing test yet.
Summons generally have the same appearance across the same model type. Customisation is restrictive because you're encouraged to spend money in the official store for accessories and whatnot. Crackers to the rescue! Modded phones can do whatever they like, including but not limited to:
1. Extend the signal range to 25m (very faded hologram at the edges of the range, however)
2. Use custom 3D models for the hologram's appearance
3. Get special-made AIs and accessories from the online mod shop (most of which are free)
4. Change power source when low on batteries (these include draining electricity from nearby power sources, someone's stamina, someone's life...again, through means I haven't been able to justify with pseudoscience yet.)
That's...probably it for now. Without going into ridiculously small detail on things.
