AI Assistant Hologram with Anime Characters

Razer, a gaming hardware company, introduced Project AVA at the annual event. Project AVA is a 5.5-inch holographic assistant with an animated character. Interestingly, the male animation looks like a character in a game with an urban genre, while the female animation looks like an anime character.

Razer says that this hologram assistant is designed to accompany gamers at the desk. The assistant can give advice on game strategies, set daily schedules, to provide personal advice. AVA is equipped with an internal camera to constantly track the user's eye movements and facial expressions.

Robot Panda for the Elderly

The next technology exhibited at CES 2026 is An'An, a panda baby robot to care for the elderly. This robot was developed by Mind with Hearth Robotics with the support of Artificial Intelligence (AI) so that An'An has tactile sensors.

Thanks to the sensor, An'An can give a natural emotional response when touched. This robot was developed to accompany lonely elderly people. An'An can be a reminder of daily tasks while monitoring the health of its users.

AI-Powered Ice Maker

GoveeLife introduces a smart ice maker that uses AI to dampen the noise from the machine. Thanks to AI, the device can prevent the emergence of noise generated during the freezing process.

This machine is capable of producing ice in six minutes and with a capacity of up to 60 pounds per day. The device will be officially sold by GooveLife starting January 15.

The next Music Innovation candy comes from Lollipop Star. The company developed a lollipop candy that can produce music. This innovation can happen thanks to the music vibration that is sent directly through the skull to the ear when the candy is put in the mouth. Users can enjoy music from famous artists such as Ice Spice while tasting the peach flavor of the candy. This is a very unique technology because users can feel directly how a food is transformed into a technology.
