Razer has unveiled Project Ava, a desktop accessory that brings AI to life through a variety of avatars visible on its holographic display. The device is designed to be used at any time, whether during gaming or work, with Windows computers.

Razer has announced Project Ava, a holographic AI companion for Microsoft Windows computer users. The device contains a speaker, far-field microphones, an HD camera, and LED lights.

Project Ava projects a 3D avatar on a 5.5-inch holographic display that owners can speak to and interact with. A variety of avatars will be released with the device, each with a different personality. Each avatar are animated with facial expressions and eye tracking.

The avatars are initially designed to be powered by xAI's Grok AI, but the selection of AI can be expanded in the future. Project Ava is designed to be a constant companion, available around the clock for interaction during gaming, work, and life.

The holographic companion can celebrate gaming successes, answer in-game questions, and provide strategies for success.
