# Tactility Humation MIT Avatars

## Goal
Use Humation MIT avatars as MCP screen-status UI — pre-rendered 320x240 RGB565 on Pi, not on device. User liked rendered status text on WhatsApp.

## Requirements
- Pre-rendered on Pi (.110 or .102), avoid device CPU
- 320x240 RGB565, states: listening, thinking, speaking, idle
- Status text rendered below/with avatar

## Devices
- Faith_Grace 320x240 F=blue G=purple book player
- KidsOS Tactility Color 320x240
- ESP32-S3-RLCD 4.2" reflective
- XIAO ePaper 400x300 could adapt variant
