    My favourite part of Dragons Den, is when Peter Jones asks a relatively simple question but gets a strange answer, and gives a gobsmacked expression while looking at the other dragons.

      Operating in the industry, I can tell you that there are well established brands like 'Histoire de Parfums' who reside in the niche perfumery vertical. They produce products that are based on historical events, characters and so on. You also have other brands like Zoologist who produce fragrances based on the habitats of animals (!) - and to someone like myself who enjoys the transportative of perfume - these kinds of fragrances last longer, have more character and development in their DNA than the generic 'teen Axe body spray' vibes of Dior, Bulgari and so on.

Start up a business where he entertains kids with his virtual puppet. That would have been a really fun and unique experience for children back then.

    That puppet suit could have been a useful way of getting motion capture in areas outside the studios.

      I was a producer in the games industry for 13 years. Video game companies, one of the largest markets for mocap, wouldn't want this. It doesn't have enough sensors for smooth, full facial movement (only the bare minimum for mobility and rudimentary lip sync), plus you can get a very good quality mocap suit that'll get you state of the art articulation for half of what they're asking.
      Furthermore, they have to provide the virtual puppet, not you. No development studio would ever buy this system.

      very true. and the technology at the time was just too expensive. Online now lots of people use virtual characters for pretty much anything but its also because its pretty cheap to do. You can get a webcam and pay an artist anywhere from 30 up to a few hundred for some nice art (depending on the quality you want and movement).
      plus VR totally replaced whatever get-up the guy he had on too. I wonder what the guy thinks of things like VR chat- where anyone at all can buy a decent headset for under a grand and have a model made of pretty much anything. Most VR headsets come with arm movement now too

      I also have zero idea how the rigging works or if they own other models, but there's also the possibility that his equipment doesn't have a full body version, maybe it would have worked but at least most Vocaloid things i've seen have MIku's full body in it. what's the use in buying equipment that you'll have to spend a good chunk of money altering and changing if you can just use what already works.

    Whilst that virtual puppet idea would have become redundant within a few years of this pitch due to AI being able to do the same thing, I'm sure the novelty could have made a little money. But they needed a hiring model rather than a sales model. I think many businesses would have been open to spending 1500 for a one day hire. They would need to have a decent number of characters programmed that gives the businesses options to choose from. Most businesses don't have a character mascot of their own and wouldn't need a custom made one.

      Well, no, it was basically a reverse exoskeleton, I don't think anyone's really got any mileage out of that one.

    Ok, Turkey Greece and Italy have olives... Not just Spain. And the Turkish olives would have been cheaper and potentially better at the time.... Wonder how she is doing now

      Spanish olives are their own thing, just like Greek olives taste different than Spanish olives. I can't speak for Turkish olives, but Spanish olives are unique and very delicious.

    The IP on the “Cleopatra” perfume alone could have decent returns at some point. Getting in for 20% at 40k is a worthy risk for someone with the means.

    That "virtual puppet" thing... I worked at a movie studio last year, and that's quite literally what we did, only a million times better 😂 The mo-cap, the live voice acting, everything. That's how we made Lego Friends.

    History of perfume, a small percentage? That's pretty ignorant.
    A man who reverse engineered historical perfumes, by studying them, understanding them, and finally recreated them should be respected.
    There's a far greater market for that... In fact, maybe he should consider discussing with a museum, or with historians, to people who could truly appreciate such a product.
    If he's figured out and successfully recreated Cleopatra's perfume, there are millions of Cleopatran and Ceasarian documentarians that would be tripping over each other, getting their hands on the perfume, and wanting to describe it and study it, for the world.
    The one dragon's right. put the man in a laboratory, with the historical details on past figures perfumes, and he would be an international gem.
    Let him crack how Oichi, Nobunaga's sister smelled, or his wife Nohime. Or look into Marie Antoinette's perfume when she was brought to the infamous blade. Or look into the perfumes the Sultans' harems used to control the Sultans. (Despite the Sultanas being the ones who ran things.)
    Instead of sending his perfumes to stores, send them, and him over to museums. He's too valuable than to be caught in expensive retail.

    The goblin puppet idea would have been great for crowd engagement at fairs, in malls, toys shops, etc. There's a new Barbie? Kids can interact with the virtual one and it can draw in customers. I really feel it was overlooked.

      Twenty grand plus the salary of the operator is a lot to spend on customer engagement at a single site - especially in the 00's.

      @LeahInTheRye don't get me wrong, I doubt it would cost anywhere near that in 2024. It was just a bit early for the mass market by the sound of it.

    I like how the dragons couldn't comprehend the possibility of a person wanting an individually wrapped wipe. Like, that was so crazy they couldn't get off it when he tried giving them examples, and just ignored his examples.
