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.

    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.

      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

        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

        Yeah, so this could definitely just be an app. And then it would only be like 50% as stupid.

          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 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.

      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.
