Aether is an interactive XR avatar driven by an LLM-based artificial intelligence. It is designed to communicate verbally and visually in the most natural, human way possible, creating a seamless interaction between the user and AI. Aether is built on Convai, a powerful tool for AI-driven NPCs that enables them to respond dynamically and perform various custom pre-designed tasks via text or voice input, depending on the narrative of a specific game or experience. This is combined with custom animations, expressions, and code that enable Aether to react accordingly and naturally to the user's input with emotions and empathy, using both logical and emotional reasoning to communicate. With this, Aether becomes more than a chatbot, it is a realistic personality with its own subjective thoughts and views, acting as a true companion.

Aether can be interacted with using a Meta Quest 3 or a more advanced Meta device, and it will be projected into the user's work or living space through the headset's built-in depth sensors and cameras. These sensors also enable Aether to be rendered with dynamic occlusion, further enhancing the realism and quality of the experience.
