Do you remember that scene in Blade Runner 2049 where a giant, holographic Ana De Armas tells Ryan Gosling he looks lonely? Well, I certainly do. The team behind this head-turning Kickstarter project may do as well, taking the dream of a giant, holographic lady and making her pocket-sized—not to mention anime-themed, of course.
The Dipal D1 is a teeny tiny pod featuring a curved touch screen. Projected inside the pod is a virtual AI assistant wrapped in a 3D anime-style presentation, though you can also take it on the go by popping the pint-sized projection onto your phone. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the project exceeded its approximately $9,700 funding goal within minutes of debuting on Kickstarter.
