Systems and methods for virtual interaction

Abstract

In one aspect, at least one processor may receive a first user input and identify one or more first keywords from the first user input to determine one or more previously recorded outputs corresponding to the first keywords. The previously recorded outputs may correspond to a virtual character, such as a celebrity. Further, the at least one processor may select one of the determined previously recorded outputs and output the selected previously recorded output corresponding to the virtual character. The at least one processor may also identify one or more second keywords from at least the first user input, temporarily store the second keywords in memory in association with at least one portion of the user input, receive a second user input, and determine another previously recorded output based at least in part on the temporarily stored keywords associated with the first user input.
