#HAL 9000 REPLICA FOR SALE WORKING MOVIE#
The time refers to the time when they start in my ripped movie file, which starts with chapter 15 of the US DVD, at 59min 10sec (so, to find a phrase in the full movie, you need to add the 59:10 min). In total, I came up with 96 phrases which are listed here.
From this, I extracted a list of all of HAL’s phrases. Sometimes, I divided a longer sentence into smaller pieces, whenever it makes sense to play the individual pieces alone. These are now used in HAL’s tea timer.īefore I started extracting the individual HAL sound bites, I got the full movie dialogue from (film) or. I entered the phrases “I am starting the tea timer” and “Your tea is ready, enjoy!” and stored the mp3 files. But from their female voices I preferred the “US English” voice “Daisy”, in “medium” speed. From their male voices, I found that the British voices worked better as computer voices. I found the webpage which converts ASCII text into speech. And here I remember the Star Trek board computer with its female voice. If I can’t get the real HAL voice, then I want something that sounds very different. Maybe Douglas Rain would be so nice to record those, but I have not tried. After 2:30 min, it will play some of the beep sounds from the movie (see the previous blog entry) and announce “Your tea is ready, enjoy!”įor this, it would, of course, be nice to get sound clips in the true HAL voice. Initially, my HAL will say “I am starting the tea timer” and display the countdown on the 4-digit, 7-segment display. The third one got the label “TEA”, and it is used to start the tea timer. Two of the three blue buttons in the lower left corner have the labels “COM” and “NAV” – these are what is also displayed on HAL’s screens in the movie. But the really useful thing is the built-in tea timer. Well, I added a temperature sensor and its readings are displayed on the 1602 LCD display (2 rows with 16 characters each). The company is already advertising the replica on its website, confirming it has been licensed by Warner Bros and is ready to be reserved – with the replica due to go on sale later in the year.Īccording to the website Amazon Echo technology is at the heart of the product, meaning that like an Echo it will be able to control any smart home products around the house.When friends admire my HAL 9000, that’s what they usually ask.

The homage to the classic device is powered using an Amazon Fire HD tablet that is then joined by additional lights, speakers and software added by Master Replicas Group to give it the look of HAL. However, the malevolent computer is now being integrated into modern-day reality thanks to Master Replicas Group, which has created a new version of HAL that works with Alexa and can control your smartphone. The sinister artificial intelligence at the heart of sci-fi cult classic 2001: A Space Odyssey is infamous enough for many people to write off the Alexa, Siri and other assistants of the modern day. A new replica of HAL-9000 is coming, and it has Amazon Alexa built in 6 months agoĪs virtual assistants began to become mainstream, the more cynical in society could be forgiven for thinking their rise could only be a bad thing – an idea likely born from memories of HAL-9000.
