Gatebox Virtual Home Robot: The End of Humanity

Her "dream" sounds like some commie propaganda shite.

Gatebox aims to fill that role by offering a virtual home robot in the form of a projected 3D character living inside a glass tube.

The Gatebox ia a projection tube within which a character is projected who can partake in conversations and be hooked up to your home network in order to automate certain tasks such as turning lights on or off, or demanding your robot vacuum cleans the floor.

If you hadn't guessed already, Gatebox is a Japanese creation with the character taking on an anime look. Her name is Azuma Hikari, and she even has her own website. She's also classed as the "first character" with a distinct personality, two voices, hobbies, likes/dislikes, and even a dream. So it seems likely Gatebox will gain the option of more characters to interact with in the future.

Interaction is done through voice chat in person, with a camera mounted at the top of the tube ensuring Azuma is always able to look at the person she's conversing with. When away from home, an iOS or Android Gatebox app can be used to continue chatting with Azuma, or to get her to do things in time for your return.

I get the usefulness of an alexa or google home but this takes it a little far. hope this shite doesnt make it/get popular over here. this is just really sad. not trying to be funny. it's just sad period.

Texting with the machine during the day? wtf dont you have real people you could text? It's enough to just keeping up with texting a SO but now this thing? frick that. Pretty fricking depressing if you ask me.
