Link: Anime-style avatar waitresses, controlled by humans, now taking orders at Tokyo pub

Avatar waitresses, designed with anime-style aesthetics and controlled by remote humans, are now accepting orders at a Tokyo pub. These digital waitresses, projected during customers' interactions, were developed to cater to an increased desire for contactless service amid pandemic concerns. The initiative was introduced by Bouncy, hoping to combine technology with hospitality in a unique manner. The remote-controlled staff, charmingly rendered in an anime style, aims to add to the vibrant atmosphere without the risk of physical human contact. They deliver a seamless experience, taking orders and answering queries through their human operators. The success of this implementation could transform the future of the hospitality industry. #
