Gatebox Collection V2.0 Adds Autonomous Living Mode and Generative AI Talk Mode
The update shifts Gatebox Collection's pitch from displaying figures to having them act on their own, which is where the company's stated vision of characters coexisting with users now sits.
Reporting from 1 source: PANORA.
Gatebox released the v2.0 update for its digital figure app Gatebox Collection. The update adds Living Mode, in which a VRM avatar moves autonomously according to a daily rhythm the user sets, and Talk Mode, which uses generative AI for voice conversations. Emote Mode now supports VRMA motion files and offers more than 70 preset motions. The app is available on the App Store and Google Play.
The app displays collected digital figures in a room, and Gatebox says it can be paired with the company's Digital Figure Box product. In Living Mode the avatar wakes, relaxes, reads, works or studies, naps, and trains according to a daily rhythm set for it, and users adjust parameters such as work or reading time to shape each avatar's behavior. Items including chairs and desks can be swapped in. Emote Mode keeps manual control: users pick from more than 70 preset motions or load their own VRMA motion data, including files made with existing VRMA tools or sold on BOOTH.
