Razer Brought AI to Life and Released a Hologram Companion

This is a physical hologram with a camera and microphone that sees, hears, and is constantly near the user. AVA can communicate, help in games, give advice on household chores, and react almost like a 'real' character, not an ordinary chatbot.

At launch, Razer offers several visual styles, including anime avatars and the brand's character Ava. Currently, the device runs on Grok, but users are promised the freedom to choose their AI model in the future. Pre-orders are already open, and a full launch is scheduled for the second half of 2026.

AI is stepping beyond the screen and becoming an object with a face, voice, and constant presence next to a person… and it sounds both exciting and slightly unsettling
