Unlike the Echo though, it also has an HD camera that can recognize faces or act as a security camera. There's also a small screen on it that displays a semblance of a face plus a variety of animations depending on the application. If the weather is "rain," it'll show animations of rain drops, for example. As you can see in the video demo here, it can also "sing" and "dance" by bobbing its head around.

Otto isn't a real product just yet; it's only a prototype at the moment. It's being shown off at Samsung's developer conference to demo its ARTIK Internet of Things platform. ARTIK has been around for awhile now, but today Samsung unveiled a set of tools that developers can use to create apps and devices for it. It also launched the ARTIK Cloud platform, which can be used to store data for devices just like the Otto.
