HAL
The Holographic Access Link unit was a tool produced by Holographic Solutions Incorporated to fill gaps in services, in particular the need for database administration. Usually used as a data administrator, system controller, monitor for operations centers or overwatch on a facility. The HAL tends to be an authoritative control for any facility.
Specifications[]
Specialized in systems overwatch and administration, the HAL unit is an interface for organics to control the many aspects of a facility with a constant eye. It is similar to automated home or facility control systems in many ways, but for the adaptive decision matrix which allows for more creative solutions to problems.
Relevant factors exist not only of computer and power resources but of relative cost may also be a driving factor in choices made for Holographic Aid usage. HSI can provide a purchase license per a single service matrix which will grant the End User perpetual use and full autonomy to make adjustments up to the maximum[A] capacity, or a user license that allows for an entire suite of matrices to be available and payment is on a use basis per contract license period.[B][C].

Legality[]
The Holographic Aid is not considered sentient at deployment, although they do have the capability to become sentient with extended use. As such, standard deployment includes an automatic restart every 14 days to reset, and reload pertinent data. UFP sentience guidelines are to be followed as it becomes necessary, with potential for recognition legally and rights bestowed. (Pending)
