Gatebox Virtual Home Robot Wants You to Be Her Master
Allows you to live with a projected 3D character automating your home life and being a companion.
By Matthew Humphries December 14, 2016
We're a few years away from physical home robots becoming a reality. But that doesn't mean we can't have a virtual robot automating our homes and forming a companion of sorts. 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.
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.
The creators explained that: “The reason why we [developed] Gatebox is not because we are just pursuing entertainment or convenience. We want the characters [to] be naturally in our daily lives and spend relaxing [times] with us. 'I want to live with my favorite character.' We dreamed of such [a] world and we started this project." The tone of the character is intentionally conversational. Azuma is your friend, not just your assistant. Azuma is an endlessly friendly life-partner. She texts you throughout the day, kind of like a human partner would. Azuma is pitched as the doting partner who's waiting patiently for your return home. She even turns the lights on ahead of your arrival! And she is as interested as you are as sitting in the coach and watching TV. She is a life companion. It is easy to view this as creepy, especially when Azuma holds up a sign on her website that says "Master Now Wanted." However, an increasing number of people live alone, and if the Gatebox offers some companionship and help around the home, it could prove both useful and a valuable point of interaction for people who are otherwise secluded.
