Arua Core Gives the Smart Home a Holographic Meeting Room

Field notes

Arua Core describes a household coordination layer rather than another standalone smart speaker. Its proposed architecture combines a local Qwen3-4B model for basic and offline interaction with GPT-4o or Claude for more demanding requests, while A2A and MCP connect existing devices. The interface is a POV light form whose visual states represent listening, reasoning, speech, and dispatch. A camera, four-microphone array, and mmWave radar are assigned complementary sensing roles. The page positions crowdfunding and Early Access as future steps.
