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.
