Japanese start-up Vinclu Inc. released a video this week...

　　...showing off their hologram assistant.

　　It's called Gatebox...

　　...and it's designed to be similar in function to other virtual assistants...

　　...like Alexa, Siri and Cortana.

　　The name of Gatebox's digital assistant is Azuma Hikari...

　　...and she will wake you up in the morning, wish you farewell when you leave...

　　...and greet you when you arrive home at the end of the day.

　　It also works with the Internet of Things...

　　...so Azuma can connect to compatible devices in your house...

　　...and give you information like the weather on demand.
