The Japanese are really good at making useful robots. This time, they’ve done it again.
They’ve created a holographic female virtual character that performs even better than Siri.
Meet Azuma Hikari, a pretty anime character that can interact with you like your personal secretary/girlfriend.
She can recognise your face and your voice because of the sensors on the exteriors of the gadget.
Here’s what she can do:
- Wake you up in the morning with her sweet voice
- Remind you of things to remember (i.e. to bring an umbrella if she predicts it will rain)
- Cheers you on at work
- Reminds you to come home early
- Welcomes you back home after work by turning on the lights and air-con before you reach home
- Accompanies you to drink a hot cup of beverage
- Wishes you a good night rest
She’s 20 years old and enjoys watching anime and eating donuts but she dislikes insects. Her dream is to become a heroine for a hardworking person.
Right now, she can only speak Japanese but she’s improving on her language skills.
You can get it for $2,700.
