I was invited to a gadget geek/IT entrepreneur/web industry last week and had the chance to meet some of the Japanese rock stars in this area, for example Tetsuya Mizuguchi, the guy who made Sega Rally and Rez.
The CEO of Geisha Entertainment Tokyo [JP] was also present and personally delivered a demonstration of his company’s flagship product, Cybermaid Alice.
As you may remember, Alice is an Augmented Reality figure that can be “touched” and manipulated with sticks. Watch the videos I made during the presentation to get a better understanding of the application and judge for yourself. The retail version of Cyber Alice is available here for users living outside Japan for $145 plus shipping.
Each generation of Americans is softer and dumber than the last.
There’s nothing American about this product – the product is Japanese. In fact, the people in the pictures are Japanese. The language spoken in the video is … let’s take a leap here … Japanese too.
So… Who is going to print the cubes to make the images lifesize first?
