"Let me guess Val, Vodka Tonic?" Valentina stared back blankly for a moment, her expertly made-up faceplate un-moving. The bartender's question, although simple, had interrupted a pre-programmed subroutine she usually relied upon for vocalizing her order. Dozens of independent tape drives kicked on at a frenzied pace as her systems quickly pivoted computational priority. A keen observer may have been able to hear the whiz of tape emanating from within her. Her social interaction subsystems quickly determined his question was a friendly jab at the fact that she always ordered the same thing. It quickly formulated a response, stamped its magnetic signature on its associated data spool which was almost immediately decoded at her vocal synthesis processing transistor board. The board sent discrete measured voltage pulses through a series of side-chained oscillators which generated the raw audio of her response. From there it was sent through a tube amplifier and hard-piped to a speaker discretely placed at the back of her mouth cavity. Several diaphragm valves opened and closed in programmed response to shape the volume and delivery of her words. Simultaneously to all of this happening, the raw audio had been digitized and stamped onto more tape that traveled through an independent lip-syncing performance bus. This bus analyzed the raw audio file and expertly directed the dozens of actuators and servo-motors embedded behind her shiny, soft lips to open and close her mouth in perfect unison with the words emerging from her throat speaker. This entire process had executed in just 0.9 seconds. Abruptly exiting her frozen state, Valentina responded with a gleam in her large green eyes and a smile designed to showcase her ivory white teeth. "Yes. That would be wonderful. Thanks Peter!" "You got it." |
