PlantPetZ™
The Product That Turns Your Ordinary Plant into Your Friend
Product Description
PlantPetZ is a unique and innovative product that turns your ordinary plant into your friend. It enhances the movements and reactions of a houseplant to provide both entertainment and companionship as well as help you take better care for it.
When potted in the PlantPetZ planter, your plant will react to sound, touch, motion, light and moisture. We were able to achieve this by integrating proprietary technology, multiple sensors, electronics and plant care devices together to create PlantPetZ. It is a smart planter for your favorite or new indoor plant. Once you pot the plant in it, the world of opportunities opens up. For example, when you touch the leaves, your plant will now react. When you enter the room it will acknowledge you. And when you approach it, it will “see” you and greet you. It can dance with you and make you laugh. It can even tell you if it’s thirsty and it’s time to water it, so you can enjoy a healthier and (hopefully) happier plant companion for a long time.
We have developed a “plant language” for the plants to verbally communicate with you. It is a mixture of soothing sounds and whimsical voices. So now your plant can greet you with its default friendly voice or you can take it a step further and welcome your guests with your personalized message, such as “Hi, Welcome to Dr. Cooper’s Office.” Just imagine the possibilities of customizing your plant for Halloween, Christmas, New Year’s or any special occasion. How funny would it be if your Christmas tree danced with you?
PlantPetZ is in the Patent Pending stage. The product, PlantPetZ, is ready to use out of the box. It comes pre-programmed with a default character personality and activated features. An app is available to change and customize the character personality, record personalized messages and select or deselect features. It is best to use with the app, but not necessary.
