This is The "Virtual Home Robot" by gatebox inc
What is it and what does it do? Simply put, it's a virtual girlfriend for young guys obsessed with anime and have confidence issues. The otaku as they call them in japan.
This phenomenon has been so widespread through japan it has actually become an issue for the growth of the country. For the first time in the history, japan's population is shrinking. I wrote a post about this in greater detail, you can check it out here
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this exactly the opposite of what needs to be done about this issue? Shouldn't we be trying to help pull these young inept people out of their dark rooms and into the real world. Instead, they are making it so they never have to do so.
What looks like a coffee maker is actually a mini projector, using the latest hologram, sensor and camera tech (but no coffee) to bring to you a virtual homunculus to be your live in roomie. From the time you wake up to the moment you rest your head, it'll be watching you.
"Gatebox Lab isn't just a hardware manufacturer or robot company. It's a research lab that's searching for a NEW DIMENSION with a visionary R&D program that seeks to enable people to live with virtual characters. We've brought an array of expertise and technology to bear on our goal of searching for a new dimension, and we're working day and night to develop the products that will make this dream come true. We're committed to living up to expectations as we work to make a NEW FUTURE possible." - Minori Takechi President and CEO of Gatebox Lab
I find it really interesting that this guy was born in Hiroshima. Could explain why he's fucked in the head. 🤔
I want to take a moment to point the over the top black cube symbolism on both Gatebox and Gatebox Lab websites. Now I'm an atheist through and through and my knowledge is very limited on all the symbology. But I do recognize the black cube of Saturn when I see it. I'm sure I got a few friends on here that know all about that stuff. You'll get a kick out of it, it's so in your face!
Maybe they just like cubes, I mean the company is called Gatebox after all. Maybe the designers smoke a bit too much or maybe it's the Hiroshima radiation that's got Minori Perma-high. However, with the type of shit they are saying, what they trying to achieve. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this company is on some occultic shit without a doubt.
Hey, just because I don't believe in all that spiritual stuff, doesn't mean that they don't believe it, and are actively trying to open up a 'dimension' to a 'new future'.
To give you an example, I made this 'black cube collage' from images I found on the webs.
Yes..
ok..
True..
Nope, you lost me.

What is “vision”?
"Vision, which is a synonym of “dream,” describes the reasons that justify our activities. It provides the basic answer to the “why” that motivates all of our activities and the drive behind those activities. Consequently, we consider the vision to be the most important thing for our company. Our vision is to achieve the goal of “Living with Characters.”
What would a world where people can live with Virtual Characters be like?
"If you could communicate naturally with the characters that exist on your screen, you could be said to live together naturally in the same room."
Why Virtual Characters?
"From childhood, people learn important life lessons from the appealing characters that appear in stories. Heroes and heroines of whom we are fond heal and inspire us in times of discouragement and confusion. However, they remain distant because their existence is limited to the screens on which we see them. That’s why we want to break through the wall of dimensions and bring those characters into real life."
How is this possible?
"We believe in the power of dreams. And we believe in the power of technology in the same way. Just as television gave movement to characters and the Internet brought people around the world together through those characters, we have been using the power of technology to gradually shrink the distance that separates us from characters. Today, new technologies like AR/VR/MR, AI, and IoT promise to facilitate encounters with characters in a way that goes beyond dimensions. We will tap the unlimited potential of such technologies to create products that go beyond dimensions to turn the dream of living with characters into reality."
life sized virtual character experience at some convention thing. Look at the size of that coffee maker!
"Conspicuously presence in the venue, "Super Giant Gatebox" appeared. In the ultra-huge gatebox, you can shoot two-shot together with the character "AR photo session", the public live broadcast of the popular [Tsukasa Fushimi Channel Travel Edition], DECO * 27 and Mr. Real Achibaboys

We will carry out a variety of stage programs for you to love your character, such as Live set. Enjoy a moment of the future with your character."

I think this is from some online shop where you can buy virtual home robot merch.
It's a strange world we live in, I think this in particular is another example of the sickness society is facing. Where companies are actively finding ways to use tech to trap people and further isolate them from reality. To stop people from connected with others and starting families. Some say we are already living in a matrix, well if that's the case, they are now trying to push us into a matrix within a matrix as tech companies are looking to expand upon the virtual world, sucking in the next generation into their voluntary mind coffins.
I hope you found this post interesting. Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below and as always.. I thank you for reading!
