The new platform allows developers to embed Watson functions into various end-user device form factors, offering a next generation architecture for building cognitive-enabled experiences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIBM is taking cognitive technology beyond a physical technology interface like a smartphone or a robot toward an even more natural form of human and machine interaction,\u201d said Rob High, IBM Fellow, VP and CTO, IBM Watson. \u201cProject Intu allows users to build embodied systems that reason, learn and interact with humans to create a presence with the people that use them. These cognitive-enabled avatars and devices could transform industries like retail, elder care, and industrial and social robotics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Project Intu simplifies the process for developers wanting to create cognitive experiences in various form factors such as spaces, avatars, robots or other IoT devices, and it extends cognitive technology into the physical world. The platform enables devices to interact more naturally with users, triggering different emotions and behaviors and creating more meaningful and immersive experience for users.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2577\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2577\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/02\/IBWatson_logo_1200pix.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2577\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2577\" src=\"https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/02\/IBWatson_logo_1200pix.jpg\" alt=\"IBM Watson logo. \u00a9 IBM.\" width=\"400\" height=\"173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/02\/IBWatson_logo_1200pix.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/02\/IBWatson_logo_1200pix-768x331.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2577\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">IBM Watson logo. \u00a9 IBM.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As an example, IBM has worked with Nexmo, the Vonage API platform, to demonstrate the ways Intu can be integrated with both Watson and third-party APIs to bring an additional dimension to cognitive interactions via voice-enabled experiences using Nexmo\u2019s\u00a0Voice API&#8217;s support of websockets.<\/p>\n<p>This experimental platform is a continuation of IBM\u2019s work in the field of embodied cognition, drawing on advances from IBM Research, as well as the application and use of cognitive and IoT technologies.
