Razer has unveiled a significant evolution for its Project Ava AI companion at CES 2026, transforming the concept from a simple PC overlay into a physical holographic device. The new hardware is a compact cylinder featuring a 5.5-inch display capable of projecting a 3D animated avatar. This 'bottle' includes an HD camera, dual microphones, and a speaker, allowing the AI to interact with its environment and the user without being confined to a monitor.

The platform has also expanded its roster of personalities, including 'Kira,' 'Zane,' 'Sao,' and an avatar of esports legend 'Faker.' Currently utilizing X AI's Grok for responses, Razer plans to make the platform open-source to support other AI models like Gemini or ChatGPT. With reservations open for a $20 deposit and an estimated $200 price point, this gadget represents a tangible step toward integrating physical AI companions into the daily gaming and computing workflow.
