Japanese boys band ARASHI used AR in a music TV show of the last day of the year

A Happy New Year! In Japan, new year began and passed for 2 hours. Japanese public broadcasting company NHK broadcasts a music TV show "Kōhaku Uta Gassen" every year on the last day of the year. The Japanese boys idol group ARASHI showed real-time Augmented reality there.

I was not able to take good photos...

Sensors were attached to their hands, and the AR CG were displayed in link with their dance. There were many audiences in the stage of this TV show. However, they cannot watch AR CG. Only TV viewers were able to watch this. This is direction only TV, and it may be said that it was a project to give added value to TV.
