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:
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.
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
