The device enables face recognition, and it can count how many people have seen the screen.   When you stop by in front of the device, it shows your appearance overlapped with the popular Vocaloid character Miku Hatsune‘s hair and the Red Cross nurse cap.
In Akihabara, there’s the best-known blood donation facility among geeks, which makes you feel as though you were in a starship.
