Hologram-in-a-jar is the perfect buddy for lonely people with no friends

If Siri or Alexa had a human-like form, they might resemble Gatebox Labs' hologram-in-a-jar digital assistant. Reminiscent of a sci-fi movie device, the Gatebox is either the future of digital assistants or the end of humanity. SEE ALSO: This device can project'Star Wars'-like holograms in the air Like the Echo and Google Home, users can talk to the Gatebox and its digital assistant, Azuma Hikari, will talk back. It has the same basic smart home applications as the Echo and Home, with the ability to control other smart home appliances. Additionally, the Gatebox has several sensors for detecting motion and temperature. The biggest difference here, besides being able to see Azuma Hikari emote with body language, is advanced friendship capabilities that make her even more humanoid.
