1. A display assistant device comprising:
a base having a housing configured for sitting on a surface, wherein the housing has a front surface and a rear surface, a height of the front surface being shorter than the rear surface such that the housing has a tilted surface on its top;
a screen having a rear surface, where the screen is configured to be couplable to the base so that, when the screen is coupled to the base: the screen is supported at the rear surface by the housing of the base at the tilted surface, a bottom edge of the screen is held in front of the front surface and above the surface by a second height, and the base is hidden behind the screen from a front view of the display assistant device such that the screen appears to float in air from the front view of the display assistant device; and
a speaker that is concealed inside a speaker waveguide of the housing of the base, wherein the speaker waveguide is configured to guide sound generated by the speaker towards a space of the second height separating the bottom edge of the screen and the surface on which the base is configured to sit.
