Cyber-Maid Augmented Reality

Posted on July 19th, 2008 by Akky Akimoto

Geisha Tokyo Entertainment Inc. announced a new entertainment software title using augmented reality technology named “Dennoh Figure ARis“(Cyber Figure Alice) which will be on sale this autumn (2008).

The package will come with two cyber-cubes and two cyber-sticks. You set up your webcam, and by putting the cyber-cube on your desk, a cyber-maid is displayed on top of the cube on your PC screen.

By maneuvering the cyber-stick around the cube, you can peep, touch, and make her clothes change virtually. The picture below only shows the concept. In reality, the cyber-maid can only be seen on the PC.

In my opinion, this product looks to be on the same track as the game Eye of Judgement, demo-ed and sold by Sony for Playstation3, in which players can see CG monsters appear over their real cards through a webcam, though Sony’s product is less creepy.

it “augmented reality,” but it’s the opposite of that. With augmented reality, the real world is augmented with something virtual. In this, the virtual world is affected by something real. In other words, it’s just software for lonely nerds with aCREEPY POINTING DEVICEto go with it.
