The future is 3-D—and it's shipping this spring.
We’ve all come to rely on video calls more than ever before since the coronavirus pandemic really got going in March 2020.

But the machine, which is about the same size as a mini-fridge, will let you broadcast a 3-D image of yourself from one M to another. The machine, which can be used in either portrait or landscape modes, features an AI-enabled camera that films you and generates video with simulated depth to it,. The M also includes 16 GB of system memory, 1 TB of storage and a high-definition touchscreen.

The brand’s website lists several other possible uses, including immersive entertainment, telemedicine, fitness, shopping and—because it is 2022—NFT display.with a $100 refundable deposit. The device is available in two colorways, Dark Matter and Nimbus White, and should cost about the same as a “good flatscreen TV.
