Razer is making an AI anime waifu hologram for your desk

Project Ava was software last year, and now it’s hardware this CES.

Razer's Project Ava AI game coach from last year's CES is taking a new form for 2026: a tiny holographic anime girl in a capsule you can put on your desk. Anime girls in pods were already a thing at CES 2025, but Razer's take on it is much smaller and desk-friendly. The new Project Ava is a 5.5-inch animated hologram that can take the form of Kira, an anime waifu in a green dress and black thigh-high socks, or Zane, a muscled dude covered in snake tattoos.
