Grayson is a proposed holographic personal assistant and mobile device that sits on the user's shoulder. It can act as a hands-free way to access contacts, emails, GPS and more without needing to constantly check a mobile device. Grayson is designed to have an customizable humanoid appearance and will develop its own persona over time based on how the user interacts with it. While true 3D holograms don't yet exist, the concept is inspired by technological developments that could make such an assistant possible in the near future.

2. No one ever uses speech
command on their mobile
devices in public.

3. But you do want to...

4. It’s faster

5. Less effort

6. Far easier than browsing
through all your mobile
applications by hand.

7. But speaking to your phone in
public makes you look like a
bit of a loon...

8. I propose something fun, new
and different...

9. GRAYSON is a holographic
sidekick that sits on your shoulder
and acts as both personal assistant
and mobile device.

12. GRAYSON will act like your mobile device with
contacts, emails, GPS, directions, schedule, etc. but is
given the ability to develop its own persona
according to how you use it - making mobile
communication more personable and simpler.
When mobile, the light-weight, minimalistic design
makes it easily portable/wearable. It can be attached
to the users shoulder to complete the hands-free
experience and keeps the device close at hand
without having to constantly check it.
Although the technology at the moment
is still a mere concept using the ideas built
around ‘true 3D holograms’ developed in
Japan at Burton Inc. - this starting point
creates the possibility for far more
advanced interactivity with our everyday
devices. It is inspired by a number of
different technological developments over
the last few years.
From XBOX Kinect, Apple’s SIRI,
Coachella’s 2012 Tupac performance,
Japan’s 2022 FIFA bid and even the
holograms of Star Wars as starting points
- this type of technology can potentially
be possible within the next few years.
