Abstract: A virtual greeter system, a counter display system, and a method include systems and methods that provide simulated human interaction for placement in stores, libraries, hospitals, trade shows, kiosks, and the like. The virtual greeter system can include a projector; a screen attached or supported by a base, wherein the projector is positioned to display images of a virtualized greeter onto the screen, wherein the virtualized greeter is adapted to interact with one or more proximate users; and a speaker adapted to provide sound of the virtualized greeter coincident with the images.

Abstract: A virtual greeter system, a counter display system, and a method include systems and methods that provide simulated human interaction for placement in stores, libraries, hospitals, trade shows, kiosks, and the like. The virtual greeter system can include a projector housed in a tower; a screen attached or supported by a base coupled to the tower, the screen including projection film thereon, wherein the projector is positioned to display images of a person onto the projection film; a processor communicatively coupled to the projector, a network interface, a data store, input/output interfaces, and memory; and instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to: display video from the projector onto the screen, the video including a virtual person with hand, eye, and mouth movements; and provide audio coincident with the video from the virtual person.

Abstract: Sanitary handle cover and dispenser systems and methods include a sanitary cover for shopping carts and/or other handled devices along with a corresponding dispensing system and method. In an exemplary embodiment, the sanitary handle cover includes two layers with a first layer including static polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and a second layer disposed thereon with a plurality of imprintable coupons. In use, the PVC layer may be a wrapper around a shopping cart handle providing a sanitary cover therein with the second layer optionally adhesively and removably attached to the PVC layer for a user to remove and redeem coupons on the second layer. In another exemplary embodiment, the sanitary handle cover includes a single layer of static PVC with a plurality of imprintable coupons disposed thereon.
