Posted: September 5, 20202020-09-05T17:04:59+10:00 2020-09-05T17:04:59+10:00In: Romance

As a joke a lonely programmer creates an AI girlfriend that works with VR sunglasses, but his life becomes serious as he tries to hide his growing affection for his digital companion from his worried friends and family

The part about the VR sunglass’s is this, they are glasses that let you see your surrounding environment plus whatever you program into it. So a wall could have a famous painting on it, or a dreary street could have green trees (if you are wearing the glasses)

So as the lead walks down the street or goes to the movies, he can see the digital girlfriend he created and with earbuds hear her talking like she is really there. However, no one else can see her.

PS: The lead is great at programming AI but lousy at talking with real women. So initially he kinda wants a ‘girl’ to practice talking to, but obviously he starts to fall in love.

      Not dissimilar to ‘Her’? I love that movie and think it’s a subject that has enough depth for more exploration. I like the idea of him being able to see her too.

      What’s his goal? I feel like it should start out as “to get better at talking to real women” then there’s an obvious reason why he’s done this. I think saying “as a joke” diminishes the investment for the audience a little. If he was so lonely, he created a virtual girlfriend to practice on, I feel he’d get more sympathy.

      “his life become serious” – in what way?

      Whilst the VR glasses are a great idea, I’m not sure they’re essential for the logline. Without the full explanation you’ve written below, it’s difficult to imagine how they work or their relationship to the MC and the VR girlfriend, so it detracts from the logline slightly.

      “A lonely programmer creates an AI girlfriend to practice talking to women with, but when he falls for her and chooses her over real women, he must adjust her coding to make himself fall out of love with her.”

      How’s this? I feel like the second part of Act II will be a great descent into All is Lost. Gradually adjusting the code so she treats him like the women do at the start of the film. Painful but necessary and solely under his own volition = devastating to watch.

      I’ve taken out the “worried friends and family” bit. You’ve said he’s lonely, so make him lonely. It’s also got hints of ‘Lars and the Real Girl’ in – another brilliant film.

      Love this idea! Hope this helps.

        I think you might be right about the ‘joke part. I was thinking that he created her as a ‘joke’ but really he was just lonely. So that’s what he tells people so he doesn’t get embarrassed.

        I like your logline example I think it is an improvement.

        As for the concept, I think starting with Mannequin, and the Lars and the real girl… (I need to watch Her) this has been done before, I am sort of updating the tech (Slight future tech) and trying to have a bit of a different take on the character.

          Her is amazing! I think you’ll find it a very useful reference point.

      Sorry if this is a little nitpicky and not affects the story or logline that much, but from what you’re describing, it sounds like it’s AR (Augmented Reality) rather than VR.

      I’m a little confused about what the main event that forces the programmer to change is – is it that the programmer falls in love with the VR woman? I thought the event happened to the charachter, and wasn’t created by them.

      It’s also unclear what action the MC will perform – convince his mother that this relationship is real? Change society to let him marry the VR girlfriend?

      I also think that this is a little simmilar to ‘Her.’
