Traveling Avatar iPhone application

TRAVATAR | TRAVATARの世界 via kwout

Tokyo based startup 1pac Inc. launched iPhone application "TRAVATAR".

"TRAVATAR" is the coined word that mixed "trip" with "avatar".



Compatible with iPhone and iPod Touch
iPhone OS 3.0 is necessary
language: Japanese


"TRAVATAR" does a trip from my iPhone to other user's iPhone and gets a message from other users automatically.

In addition, other TRAVATAR comes to my space while my TRAVATAR travels.

You can register favorite TRAVATAR as "TOMOVATAR".　"TOMOVATAR" is the coined word that mixed "TOMODACHI" with "avatar".　("TOMODACHI" means "friend" in Japanese.)

TRAVATAR links GPS, so you confirm a position as of a thing of TRAVATAR and can confirm the record of the trip later.

In Japan, call such communication "cross-purposes communication". 　

The real-time chat with the mobile is not liked in Japan and it is hard to talk with the person who met for the first time familiarly.

Therefore the systems which can communicate with other person automatically are popular.

Halloween party in Ariake, Tokyo

This is a diary of Saturday, October 31.


The Halloween party of this year was gorgeous and splendid!
Horror dining "Trick or Treat" in Roppongi (The restaurant which is Cool most in Japan) holds a large-scale Halloween party every year.　It counts the fourth by this year and I participate by special make-up and mask sale every time.

Participants continued increasing every time, and party people of 1,000 came this year.

Gothic, Punks, usiness person, fans of visual-kei, drag queen&king, Gothic & Lolita, mother with a child etc......Anyway, a lot of people came.





My friends






A central person is Trick or Treat's owner.



My booth





Masks & Special make-up.


I planned it in this way at first "I'll make-up on one's way to sell masks". However, it was reversed.　I do make-up for party peoples whole party times (about 5 hours).

In about 5 hours, I do special made-up to 89 people.

For proceeds (almost coins), my wallet became very heavy. By the way, one time of special make-up is 300 yen.

300yen--- about 3.3dollar, 2.24euro, 22.54yuan

I was tired very much. However, I was very happy.
