Minimal Technical Requirements

Characteristics needed to run Wonda Smoothly

Written by Elie Mietkiewicz

Wonda Basics Tech Requirements

As a rule of thumb, Wonda runs on any computer powerful enough to handle video calls (zoom, etc.) and screen sharing without performance problems.

This said, we recommend a technical check is conducted prior to any launch of Programs & Simulations and that the requirements below are fully covered to avoid any known performance and security issues.

Minimal Desktop/Laptop requirements recommended for AI-Conversational Experience:

  • Screen size ≥ 13 inches

  • 8GB RAM (DDR4)

  • 8Mb/s internet connection (test it on www.fast.com)

  • Google Chrome Browser (latest available version) with WebGL 2 - make sure you don’t have too many tabs open.

    • Ideally if any installed on your browser, please disable any privacy/anti-popup/script blocker settings.

  • Windows:

    • OS: Windows 11

    • CPU: Intel Core I3

    • GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1050 or equivalent

    • Optional : A built-in microphone and speaker OR a headset for speech interactions

  • Mac:

    • OS: MacOS 11

    • CPU/GPU: Apple M1

    • Optional : A built-in microphone and speaker OR a headset for speech interactions

Note: Wonda may run on other browsers but only Chrome is actively maintained by the Wonda team.

Types of interactions

There are 2 possible ways to converse with an Wonda AI Character:

  1. By talking "out loud" to the AI Character (aka voice mode) - leaners can press the HOLD TO TALK button or alternatively pressing and hold the Spacebar on their desktop while speaking out loud to interact with the AI Character.
    ​
    ​

  2. By sending text messages to the AI Character (aka text mode) - learners can write their message in the chat window.
    ​

In either case, the AI Characters will respond in audio and text and all messages shared between the learner and the AI Character is transcribed in the chat window.
​
N.B.:
- to activate this voice mode, learner need to allow the use of their microphone on their device
- max duration in audio mode is 5 min per message sent by learner
- if there is a lot of background noise while using the voice mode with the AI Character, it is recommended to use an audio headset with a built-in microphone that does ambient noise reduction
