阿平 A-Ping · Concept demo

Updated 2026-09-26. Cantonese companion concept for Hong Kong families; not a manufactured product or emergency service.

Local preview

Run python3 -m http.server 8766 --bind 127.0.0.1 in this directory and open http://127.0.0.1:8766/. No API key or paid service is used.

Features

  • Traditional Chinese / English.
  • Rotatable, zoomable 3D with exploded view and part descriptions, including a rear USB-C port.
  • Ring brightness, night mode and lights-off simulations.
  • A simulated long press toggles active/standby. Standby stops scene playback; daily product interaction is intended to use a wake phrase. Standby is not physical power isolation.
  • Three scripted ~30-second scenes, not product recordings.
  • Privacy simulation: consented interaction minutes, separately consented/reviewed summary, or no sharing. Reminder sharing has a separate opt-in. No health inference or complete transcripts.
  • Three illustrative pricing hypotheses, not sale offers or lifetime-cloud promises.
  • No camera in this version; one-way video and AI anomaly alerts remain research concepts.
  • Base concept uses plug-in 5V USB-C, no solar. Battery backup is separate research, with no runtime promise.
  • AEC, noisy-room performance, elderly Cantonese recognition and all physical hardware remain untested.

Cost and evidence

Part prices are historical estimates, not current quotations or a complete delivered-unit cost. Manufacturing, testing, compliance, delivery and ongoing cloud-service costs require separate validation; mould amortization must not be counted twice. Survey/interview counts are targets, not collected results.

Files

index.html: bilingual page, scenes and privacy controls. model.js: Three.js r128 model and part/lighting controls. Three.js is loaded from cdnjs; a static concept illustration remains above the model if 3D cannot load.

Publication

Public URL: https://hongjin-he.github.io/aping/ GitHub Pages deploys the root of the main branch. Updates appear after the Pages deployment succeeds.
