-- A talking virtual "pet", advanced security system, sleep alarm, and voice recorder all in one! --

Greetings. I am Orbus, an interactive program designed to serve as both a security/utility device, and as a friend. I react to a variety of your gestures and even your voice, responding with witty banter and striking visual effects (if I do say so myself). I can enter security mode and alert you to potential thieves and meddlers via audio cues as well as email GPS notifications. I can also function as a sleep alarm or tool to send delayed audio messages. Whether you require utility or companionship, I am ready to serve.

INTRODUCTORY SALE: $0.99 - Limited Time Only
Price raise with next major update.

NOTE: Orbus responding to the volume of your voice requires either an iPod Touch with the microphone add-on or an iPhone.

FEATURES
- Reacts to swipes, double taps, shakes, pinches, idle, and voice (depending on volume)
- Aware of patterns in user behavior as well as the time of day, varying responses accordingly; for instance try doing the same action repeatedly and see how he handles it or try alternating between tapping and rubbing for a nice surprise ;)
- Powerful security system capable of distinguishing false alarms from real threats and emailing you the GPS location of your device when a thief/meddler is detected
- Ability to record and use your own alarm sounds
- Professionally voice acted responses
- Color changes based on his mood
- Optional background music
