HE WORLD'S FIRST LIFE FORM
Can a long-extinct species be resurrected? Ugobe designers and
engineers studied the long extinct Camarasaurus, a dinosaur from
the Jurassic period. Pleo, a Ugobe Life Form is the authentic
recreation born from that study. UGOBE's designers and engineers
recreated Pleo's physiology from the fossils of the original. His
height and weight are consistent with that of a one-week old infant
camarasuarus.
Pleo is a 'designer species'. He incorporates all the basic traits
of autonomous life. He is specifically engineered and enhanced to
mimic life and relate to his owner on a personal level.
Pleo is equipped with senses for sight, sound, and touch. He learns
as he explores his environment. He will exhibit genuine reactions
to sensory stimuli. Every Pleo begins life with certain tendencies
but, interaction with his environment has subtle effects on his
behavior. Every Pleo eventually exhibits a unique
personality.
Pleo is capable of expression. He can feel joy and sorrow, anger
and annoyance. When Pleo is tired, he will become drowsy and go to
sleepóeven dream. Two or more Pleos will recognize one another. Be
careful though. They can transmit colds to each other. Achoo! Pleo
even sneezes!
FRIEND AND COMPANION
Pleo is a one-week old infant Camarasaurus from the Jurassic
period. Camarasaurus were born and raised in giant fern forests.
They evolved camouflage that allowed them to blend with their
environment of ferns, moss and ruff, the detritus that littered the
forest floor. The first Pleo created is a Fernback. His markings
help him to survive by hiding among the giant fern fronds in his
habitat.
Pleo is an authentic Life Form. Treat him gently like any other
living thing. Your Pleo will let you know how he feels at any
moment. That's because he is capable of actual emotions including
joy, aggression, sorrow, and fear. He can also yawn, sigh, sniff,
sniffle, snore, cough, hiccup, and sneeze.
Pleo wants to explore his environment. He will be cautious when he
walks to the edge of a table. He may cry when he is frightened.
Pleo will stretch when he first wakes up. He may stomp his foot for
food when hungry.
When Pleo grows tired, lay him down and attach his 'dream cord' so
he can sleep, dream, and gather energy for more exploration.
Currently this is still not available in Singapore...but when it
launch..i think i will want to get one of these for my boys
