Chatbots. You’ve heard of them. You’ve read about them. You may even be involved in developing them. By a wide margin, one of the most popular Oracle Developer podcasts in the last several months was Chatbot Development, First Steps and Lessons Learned - Part 1 which was published back in September of 2017. So it’s safe to say that chatbots remain a hot topic. So you may be surprised to learn that the conversation you are about to hear doesn’t really focus on chatbots, at least, not directly. Instead, the panel discusses the AI work they're currently involved in, the AI challenges they face, and other issues relevant to developing AI solutions.

Good day AppleVis, and today on this podcast, I'll be demonstrating a game.

Now, I'm sure we've read Little Red Riding Hood, the book, right?

You know, where the big bad wolf eats grandma and, you know, all that.

Now, this game comes.

It's an audio game, so it comes with a twist.

So basically, you can pick your own path.

Basically, like, you know, let's say, you know, what happened?

What would happen if the wolf didn't eat grandma, for example, or whatnot?

So you've got that choice.

It's that's what's called twisted tails.

So.

Yeah, without further ado, it's developed by the way, it's developed by a company called Sona in New Zealand and in collaboration with the Blind Foundation of Australia, Blind Foundation, Blind Foundation of New Zealand.

So without further ado, we will get straight into the demo.

Now, I will say this.

You have to use in order to use the app, you have to use direct touch.

Also, some parts, like when you're scrolling through the screen, voiceover does seem to cut off like it, you know, does seem to cut words.

So if you do notice that, you know, yes, it's it's probably a app bug.

But, yeah, without further ado, we will get straight into the demo.

Speech setting, wallet, prime video, red writing hood.

So I've got red writing hood here.

So I will double tap on double tap to open the app.

Red writing hood, direct touch area foundation, use the rotor to enable direct touch for this app.

So now interactive, twisted tails, red writing hood.

So that's kind of the opening thing.

Button double tap to select.

So we will go through the screen just to kind of give you a bit of an idea.

So this is the what all the what elements are…
