Figures 2.0 - Augmented Reality Cyber Maid

I have always thought that augmented reality - the mixing of the real and virtual worlds - was a really interesting field, and it now looks like some companies in the otaku sphere are taking note too.

Geisha Tokyo Entertainment Inc. have just announced a new product based on the technology which they have called ‘Dennoh Figure ARis‘, or ‘Cyber Figure Alice‘ in English.

Basically how it works is that you are provided with a black and white block. You then point your webcam at said block, and when you boot up the software it will overlay an image of a 3D maid standing on top of the block. You are then free to interact with the 3D model using real world objects; in this case you can use a stick to peep at, touch, and change the clothing of the maid. It’s perverted, but also pretty cool ^^.

Below are some images of the software:

The plan is that the package will be released on the market later this year. More details (if you can read Japanese) are available on the official website.
