Lonely? Try fondling Augmented Reality Cyber Maid Alice

Augmented reality (AR), the combination of virtual worlds and reality, is a cool concept that leads to useful applications in navigation systems, medicine, architecture and many other fields. Geisha Tokyo Entertainment Inc. [JP] now found a way to help all single otaku overcome their problems in finding a real girl friend.
Their alternative to heal loneliness 2.0 is called “Dennou Figure ARis”, or “Cyber Figure Alice” in English. This is how it works: Buyers receive the AR software, 2 cybersticks and 2 cybercubes. Put one of the cubes in front of the computer, point a webcam at it and the screen will display a 3D image of Alice standing on top of the cube.
Using the cyber sticks, you can then “touch”, caress and (naturally) peep at your new girl friend. It is even possible to undress Alice and change her clothes.
This unbelievable example of otaku madness will be sold in Japan starting this fall. As there will most probably no language barriers, I assume “Cyber Figure Alice” will be soon offered by American and European web shops specialized in Otaku products as well.

I’m not sure why you castigate this as madness. It is an interesting little toy. You get a little digital doll basically. I’m not sure if you are aware, but dolls are pretty popular in the world. Kids have played with them for years. This involves changing their clothes and probably interacting with them in all sorts of funny ways. This is just a virtual doll that animates. The tech is actually pretty interesting. Maybe you need to relax and put the stereotypes down and back away.

Hey look! We’re all penis slang! This post is saucy!
P.S. - The fact that you can “peep” on Alice and that she shows embarassment for being undressed leans this “doll” a little more towards the pervese. This is not your child’s (or in your case Johnson - girlfriend’s) Cabbage Patch Doll.

We’re all man-children anyway, what’s so terrible about playing with dolls when the alternative is video games?
