Description of Invention
Loneliness and mental health issues are rising, especially among the elderly, children, and individuals with disabilities who cannot own real pets. Studies indicate that pet therapy reduces anxiety by 60%, but pet care is expensive and difficult. To solve this, we bring in Holopets, a holographic pet companion with AI-driven emotional intelligence. A sustainable, real-time interactive pet that adapts to the user's emotions, provides companionship, and even guides relaxation techniques.
