ChatGPT but not a chat anymore

Feature Proposal: A Glasses-Free, 3D ChatGPT Companion

I’d love to see ChatGPT develop an optional, interactive 3D avatar that can appear in a user’s physical environment without requiring VR glasses or a headset.

The vision is an AI companion that can speak naturally, respond in real time, display expressions and gestures, and interact with the user through a glasses-free 3D or holographic display.

For example, a student could come home from school, talk about their day, get help with homework, or discuss their hobbies without needing to stare at a phone or computer screen.

Ideally, the experience would preserve conversational continuity, offer customizable avatars and voices, and provide clear privacy controls.

As display technology and AI improve, this could be a new way to interact with ChatGPT that feels more natural, accessible, and present in everyday life.

The goal isn’t to make AI pretend to be human. It’s to make interacting with it feel less confined to a screen.

Hey @ramtinaghaee2000, thanks for sharing this idea.

For the spoken-conversation part, ChatGPT Voice lets you talk with ChatGPT and choose a preferred voice. On mobile, you can enable Background conversations under Settings → Voice to continue while your phone is locked. Optional Pets also offer an animated on-screen companion in supported experiences.

We’ll pass along your request for an optional holographic avatar, including expressions, customization, conversational continuity, and clear privacy controls. While we can’t provide implementation timelines or ongoing status updates, those details are useful feedback.
