At the Gatebox booth, an experience event was held where visitors could actually converse with AI partners. Since the characters respond when you speak to them, it's a different experience from simply watching characters on a screen. It's an exhibit that offers a glimpse into the future of 'living with AI' right there on the spot.

Furthermore, an exhibit was also prepared where avatars could be enjoyed as 'digital figures'. By displaying your favorite characters or avatars inside a display, you can enjoy them as if you were decorating your desk with physical figures.

Conversing with AI and displaying your favorite avatars as familiar presences. While a slightly different approach from gaming itself, it was a booth that conveyed a new way to enjoy 'how to interact with characters'.
