NOVA — Voice Assistant

NOVA Mobile is the official companion app for NOVA - a Raspberry Pi-based voice assistant with a holographic projected face, voice command interface, smart home integration, and faith-grounded features built for families.

THIS APP REQUIRES NOVA HARDWARE NOVA is an open-source-style project the developer assembles for friends and family. The app pairs with your NOVA Raspberry Pi over your home Wi-Fi to control the device, mirror its holographic face on your phone, and manage your profile and contacts. Without paired NOVA hardware, the app cannot demonstrate its full functionality.

DEMO MODE If you'd like to explore the app's interface without hardware, type "demo" as the Pi address during onboarding to enter a hardware-free demo with sample data.

WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH NOVA

• Talk to NOVA from your phone - voice transcription happens on the Pi, replies play through Pi or phone
• See NOVA's holographic face live on your phone (real-time mirror of the Pi's display)
• Control smart home devices (lights, thermostat, locks)
• Launch streaming apps on your Roku TV
• Set goals, save memories, log family profiles
• Tap-button shortcuts for the most common voice commands
• Daily scripture, devotionals, prayer mode, faith-rooted encouragement

PRIVACY

• No analytics, no third-party trackers, no telemetry, no cloud
• Microphone audio and contacts go ONLY to your own NOVA hardware on your home Wi-Fi
• The developer has no visibility into how you use the app

ABOUT NOVA NOVA is named for "Networked Operations Virtual Assistant." The hardware combines a Raspberry Pi 5, a 7-inch hologram display via Pepper's Ghost projection, a ReSpeaker microphone array, a Bluetooth speaker, and the NOVA Python software stack. The mobile app is a companion that mirrors the hologram face and lets you control NOVA from anywhere on your home network.
