At the CES tech fair in Las Vegas, Chinese startup Takway has unveiled a cute AI-powered pet-like accessory, designed to grow physically and emotionally alongside its user.
Sweekar is similar in concept to a Tamagotchi, the popular Japanese handheld electronic toy pet that was launched in the mid-1990s.
However, unlike traditional virtual pets, Sweekar has the capacity to physically change over time thanks to a built in experience points (XP)-based system.
