Maybe, it succeeds. Japanese application developer Up-Frontier developed interesting virtual reality contents using Oculus Rift and Unity-Chan, the original character data of Unity Japan.

This is it.

What??

At first, wear Oculus Rift...

Then the scenery such as the park appears, and Unity-chan comes up next to oneself.

When you put a head on the lap shaped cushion. Your viewpoint follows it, and you can get the sense that has Unity-chan do Hizamakura(膝枕: pillow one's head on somebody's lap).

Furthermore, Unity-chan moves, talks and changes expressions. It's right virtual reality. They show the demo version of this for free. However, unfortunately it is only windows. Downloading is here.

We knew it: Japanese game company uses Oculus Rift for porno games

This is Japan.

Japanese Tech media Weekly ascii reports it about contents for adults using Oculus Rift. Japanese Bishojo(美少女: Beautiful girl) game developer Illusion develops Eroge(エロゲ: Erotic game) using Oculus Rift.

You can watch the whole body of an actual sexy actress by attaching Oculus Rift. They scanned an actress with 3D scanner to make real 3D model.

Of course you can stare at her from various angles and distance.

The title of this is "PLAYGIRLS" and Illusion releases this by the end of this year. If you want to see this quickly, go to the demo-corner of PC shop G-Tune : Garage in Akihabara, Tokyo.

Ingress players of Hiroshima prayed for peace and drew paper crane on the map

August 6 is the memorial day when an A-bomb was dropped on Japan's Hiroshima. A ceremony is held every year in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park on this day, and a lot of cranes of the origami "Orizuru" are displayed there.

Orizuru - paper crane of origami - is one of the general works of the origami, but It is often used as an item of the recovery from a disease and an injuries, the revival from disasters and the pray for peace. For example, there is a case that classmates make and give Senbazuru(千羽鶴: 1,000 paper crane of origami) for the friend who suffered from a serious disease.

Therefore Ingress players of Hiroshima flashed for an interesting idea. Ingress is mobile geolocation game of Google and players are divided into two camp and scramble for portals on a real map. When players tie neighboring portals in lines, they become the aspect. Players of Hiroshima paid attention to this. Because they connected portals well around the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, they became the shape of huge orizuru.

This has two important points. Ingress is usable as not only the game but also an art tool. And It's the wonderful art that two camp fighting against each other cooperate and made. It is right good for peace.

You can watch their Orizuru facture here (Japanese).
