The latest development in the world of virtual girlfriends incorporates technology allowing the lonely user to interact directly with the girls in augmented reality fashion.
In collaboration with the Tokyo University’s Graduate School of Information Science and Technology and Keio University’s Graduate School of Media design, Konami was able to demonstrate a “tangible” version of Love Plus at the recent Digital Content Expo 2010.
Using the RePro 3D interface, exhibitors were able to create a touchable augmented reality demo of super-deformed versions of the girls from Love Plus.
Touching one of the girls results in the other two retreating. The girls were said to be capable of responding to to tactile simulation (although not that kind of stimulation), turning to look at the toucher.
For those wondering about just what significance this bears, the current implementations of AR games (and Love Plus in particular) generally only allow the virtual character to statuesquely stand on a reference point, with interaction possible only through the controller of the PC/console providing the experience.
With some refinement it is easy to imagine players being able to prod or otherwise molest an AR character using a controller or even their hands, opening up the next level in interactive AR.
The apparatus:
So far there has been no news as to whether or not Konami plans to utilize this technology and make it an official feature for the next instalment of Love Plus, although the game is already famous for its extensive use of augmented reality.

lol This country deserves to lose the Senkaku Islands. Obviously the US gave them to the wrong country.
"Touching one of the girls results in the other two retreating"
Maybe because they think you're a molester?
Virtual chikan? Will we soon see guys with head-up-display in japanese trains? ^_^
I dont even understand how these people think.
Augmented reality has the power to insert into our perceptions, objects that cannot exist in the real World.
Until technology advances enough for real sexbots it will make an interesting replacement. And by the time sexbots get available, augmented reality will be capable to insert fantasies that cannot physically be built (not sure what exactly... Magic clothes maybe?)
This reminds me of

Very interesting - and of course Japan was in the project.
Japan will invent fuckable holograms within the next 15 years, and no one will be surprised.
I investigated the topic after it went up. It looks like all this talk about fuckable holograms is entirely possible.
Apparently some of the people who tested it out reported that touching the girls felt like getting a bite. I have a feeling a little bit of this was implemented in the display:

Touch simulation! What will the Japanese think of next?
My rinko!!!
My wife is there!!!!!
I can't imagine future gaming.
Nintendo will release console like that
Sick.
Better call the cops on this one.
Nice photoshop of the man with the camera.
Great. At least this will stop all you pathetic losers from procreating.
Oh, we never had much of a chance in the first place. BTW, the pronoun you were looking for is 'us', dear fellow anonymous sankaku contributor.
I just visit this site to laugh at you losers.
Aren't we all.
Ooh, now you will be dating anime characters for real soon!=D
. . . . . . . .
Damn !
I envy that man....
next thing you know virtual sex :D
Impressive actually, would love to see this get implented in games :o
I don't get it, what's with the milk, mug and DS at the bottom of the device.
Maybe the guy who built the display likes lactation? ^_^
Nintendogs with chicks... Nice...
>The girls were said to be capable of responding to to tactile >simulation
I read this "tentacle simulation"...
Damn, me too... Thank goodness I'm not the only one that's sick in the head. (^.^)
Ika Musume? ^_^
Real or virtual witch sexbot will kill Japan faster?
I was reading this and going "Wow, technology has sure come far these days" then I saw the last picture and went "AW HELL!?". Only in Japan.
From the censorship it almost seems that the peeping man has a vagina face.
These people only do shit.
Or maybe a dickhead?
fuck face?
I find those chibi AR characters strangely adorable....
They are so cute, like virtual nendoroids <3
so fuckable

So you are saying we plug our USB cables into their USB ports and they'll respond?
It'll be the future of visual novels and dating sims, no doubt.
this ? http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2010/10/13/finally-control-games-with-your-penis/
I think you are missing the "(not that kind of stimulation)" part.
But yeah, with the right refinement, it'll be the future. ;D
The next Love Plus will dump the 3 girls for a male lead, oh wait....
First the dick controller, now virtual girl molestation. The holodeck will be here, soon.
well i guess this totally proves the point that the gaming industries is one of the major drives for development and evolution of technology
"well i guess this totally proves the point that the porn industries are one of the major drives for development and evolution of technology"
fixed
Obviously, for the greater good. Whatever that is...
Holodick controller?
No doubt with the best minds of Japan working on it (Tokyo University).
I'm more interested in that vocaloid stand [http://www.4gamer.net/games/107/G010772/20101014084/screenshot.html?num=005] and to physically interact with Miku and Luka...
Same here...That concert was beautiful, by the way...
The Asiagraphics stand had some interesting pictures. Apropos pictures, WTF is on that censored pic the Love Plus stand was displaying?
Damn, Megpoid killed that picture...
QFT. And what I hate is that Lily has a great design but her voice sounds awful, she should sound sexy like Luka and not like a Rin/Len hybrid.
