It rotates, and it listens.

At CES 2025, a company called Sybran Innovation showed off the Code27 Character Livehouse. It’s an AI-powered digital purgatory that you can trap a small anime girl in, forever.

    If it can be 790 from Lexx then it’s worth something.

    Or possibly Holly.

    Waiting for MS/Bungie to do this with a Cortana figure as a Halo Re-ReMaster limited edition release.

    Also. As much as I’m not the target audience here, they really need to make this lenticular 3D.

    1920 x 1200 display inside a cylinder

    So it’s a phone screen hooked up to a chatbot, bolted to one of those little gadget display turntables, with a servo on it. Got it. I’ll bet you it’s even running on Android behind the scenes.

    INB4 some weeb makes an open source version of this.

      Take the AI crap out and give it an open display API and it would be a fun desk toy.

      A rotating phone screen in a cylinder creating a hologram-like effect to display notifications/metrics/whatever else.

      Specs from the website:

      Rockchip RK3588 has that specs, so it should be that or something really similar. 3588 is a 5 years old chip, it was used in a gazillion of cheap sbcs and NASes, Android SDK available, so it can be android.

      Latest interesting thing with this chip is the MNT Reform Laptop

          From the shape I thought the screen has some 3D effect, or a curved screen or something like that. But on some development images you can see it’s just a flat screen behind a curved glass. It’s definitely android, you can see the icons on this picture:

          You can see the screen is flat on this other one:

        If it’s a feature product then why do they need to list the specs, maybe apart from the power requirement and the screen resolution? 100% they just put Android on it

        If they really wanted to make money off of this, they should have made it so that you can connect multiples together. That way your anime vtuber harem could interact with each other.

        Fuck, if y’all got this kind of money hire my ass and I’ll make it happen.

          If they could get it under $400 I wouldn’t be surprised if they had tried that, kinda like those toy squares similar to tamagotchi that you could attach to each other so the sprites could interact. Or digivices, give me holographic digimon brawls.

    Pff. This is another waste of resource for AI stuff. I’ve been keeping… things… in small cages for years, without all that techno mumbo jumbo.

      Just wait till holographic displays are a thing, then we can have Cortana or Clone Wars Ahsoka on it as though we’re actually in those respective universes.

    Oh CES. You always bring out the weirdest, zaniest, most unhinged ideas and put them center stage. And I love you for it.

    Not the product…this is fucking disturbing.

    Lemmy should love this thing. Spent my first 2-weeks here blocking the non-stop “little girls in sexy outfits with tits bolted on” communities.

    “It’s anime! You wouldn’t understand!!!”

    OK. It’s still a 12-yo in a sexy outfit with tits. You do you.

        The part I find extra irrationaly annoying is that moe used to refer to wholesome cuteness and they ruined it! Like someone sitting in the park with a puffer jacket and a cup of noodles just looking cozy. Lo-fi anime to study to.

      Jesus I couldn’t even read it. I think the product might be cute but fuck if I would want to touch the product with a 10 foot pole after reading the first line or two. (Assuming whoever wrote the article wanted people to avoid the product?). What do I know though, I thought it was going to be a google Dot with a 3d holoprojected persona inside that you could configure. But guess I’ll never know
