Apr 17 2009 Surprise!: Japanese Video Game Harnesses Head Tracking Technology For Perversion
Japanese erotic game maker Teatime's latest perversion comes in the form of Tech48, a platform which allows players to look at the in-game characters using head-tracking technology via webcam. What does this mean to the lay-pervert? More realistic upskirt action. Wow, using the latest in technology for deviancy, I'm shocked. Just kidding, it's the American way. Did I say American? I mean Japanese. My God those people are geniuses.
Hit the jump for a video of the perversion in action (upskirt demo starts at 2:30).
Jan 9 2008 Johnny Lee Is My Hero: Headtracking With Wii
We saw Johnny Chung Lee make a huge multi-touch screen in his last installment, and now he's back at his Wii antics, this time making a sick virtual reality 3D headtracking system. It is freaking awesome.
Using the infrared camera in the Wii remote and a head mounted sensor bar (two IR LEDs), you can accurately track the location of your head and render view dependent images on the screen. This effectively transforms your display into a portal to a virtual environment. The display properly reacts to head and body movement as if it were a real window creating a realistic illusion of depth and space.
As a sidenote, Johnny Lee could pretty much explain anything to me and I think I would understand. Like with Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs, I think I'm developing a man-crush.
Dear Johnny,
I think you are so cool. I was wondering if sometime you would like to hang out with me.
Yes No
(Please circle one and give back to me at my locker between classes)
Your (hopeful) friend,
