As everyone knows, Japan is a country that for a long time, as well as today, is synonymous with high technology, as they were largely responsible for the fact that during the nineties and early 2000s the world was amazed with “gadgets” that seemed to be taken out of any science fiction movie. All these gadgets were created by companies such as Sony, Toshiba, Yamaha, Nintendo, Canon and many others.
Evidently, high technology is not only something that characterizes Japan, but there is something, and depending on who you ask, it is something even more crucial to the world, we are talking about the “waifus“. This time a visionary company has merged these 2 pillars of the Japanese country and created a new software that surely many anime fans are already eager to try.
In Japan now your favorite “waifu” will be the one who attends you every time you go out to a restaurant!
“Gatebox Co., Ltd., a technology company from Japan who stole the otaku limelight a few years ago by introducing its “virtual holography girlfriend”, is back in action, but now with a new software for restaurants that promises to revolutionize customer service through a “waifu” assistant. According to the company, this new program uses the latest version “GPT-4.0” with image recognition that can suggest recommended drinks and dishes while checking that the glasses are empty with the camera of the device installed on the table next to the customer.
As well as 3 key points which are number 1: recommends refill according to how empty the glass is, as the camera monitors glass availability and customer order status in real time, as well as the integrated software actively places additional orders according to the moment. Number 2: Greetings and toasts. This function comes to the fore when the user holds a glass in hand, the “waifu,” according to the company will take the initiative to make a toast, be the moment and environment scanned. This makes “drinking parties more relaxed with its slightly formal but emotional expressions”.
Number 3 and surely one of the most important for customers in Japan and the world: Character customization. The appearance of the character will be automatically generated by this new and ninth software according to the customer’s wishes, so it can be customized freely and with many variations. This is a fundamental part, as the company assures that it is very important for customers to have a suitable companion to liven up their stay at the place of their choice.
“Gatebox” mentions that this is an idea that was born from combining Japan’s proud character culture with the latest software technology to create a fun customer service experience unique to Japan. As well as that it was developed with the aim of providing an experience that allows customers to have a very enjoyable time. Finally, the company also promises that it will add “color to your meals and a moment of fun that will help boost sales of the stores that integrate this new technology”.
Undoubtedly, a very interesting idea that we are very sure is the beginning of a new era of virtual assistance, where in the near future face-to-face interactions will be less and less constant. And where Japan has taken the first step in the way only they know how to do it, through a customizable “waifu” that, as we have seen, promises to give you a unique experience at the time of your meals.
