Japanese company Sega Toys offers a new gadget-buddy called The Healing Leaf, an interactive plant with which you can share your inner thoughts or problems. The Healing Leaf features a voice-detecting sensor and software that causes the leaf to respond accordingly.
It is just not clear how the leaf can relax you and give its response. Does it play music that matches your mood or problem? Does it talk back to state its idea or the solution to your problem? Or do the leaves simply sway? Maybe you need to grab one to find out.
