MyPet2 :
Smart Mobile Agent
Transforming a pet breeding game into
a Smart mobile agent based on Samsung mobile AI
MyPet is a famous dog breeding game preloaded on Samsung Mobile. In 2006, I joined as a UX lead when Samsung built a new team for MyPet2, aiming to create new game features using artificial intelligence (“AI”) SW. Not only proposing advanced features in a game, but I also encouraged the team to develop new UX that could transform a game into a Smart mobile agent.
It manages schedules, backup data with the PC or to the MyPet web account. It even included 3D Emoji, using the user’s pet as an avatar to enjoy an activity like chatting with friends. Sadly, due to the performance issues, only the upgraded game features were released in SPH-W8550. Nevertheless, it was welcomed by the market in a series of flagship models that followed later.
