A researcher from University of Tsukuba has spent many valuable hours developing a way to make otaku dreams come true.
This system has been developed officially for “hospital patients” and it basically allows you to “sleep next to” a virtual character.
Scientists being the geeks they are, the explanatory images for the system naturally use Hatsune Miku as an example, as images doing the rounds on Japanese Twitter show.
This actually the same as the Hatsune Miku app/eye-pad device we wrote about at the end of last year.
Using the Oculus Rift headset for the head-mounted display (HMD), the unnamed virtual reality system was recently showcased in public and the charts snapped and tweeted. Not surprisingly, netizens went wild.
Now we want more info… Like a release date for a commercial version.
