Tuttuki Bako
Posted October 23rd 2008 under Games, Toys
Bandai are releasing an interesting sort of portable augmented reality toy called Tuttuki Bako, most likely only in Japan. This small box has a low resolution lcd screen on the front, and a hole on the side in which you insert your finger. Your finger then appears on the screen augmented into the game.
Watch this official video:
(youtube embedded video)
Other videos show the menu and octopus game, annoy a girl game & squishy blob game.
I look forward to getting one to see how well it works, and possibly take it apart.

There’s something wrongly erotic going on here though. Am I the only one who things little boys will stick their willies in the hole?

The video is so funny… makes me think of something else. No one does poking (pun intended) fun and making sexual innuendos with technology better than the japs. :)) Great idea though.
