The Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya, also known as the Prime Ministers Museum, in New Delhi has launched an interactive artificial intelligence-powered 3D avatar of Mahatma Gandhi.

The installation, called HoloBox, uses advanced technology to create a hyper-realistic and life-size digital image of Gandhi.

Visitors can now engage in real-time conversations with the avatar using natural voice interactions.
