Love is already in the air. And it seems like Cupid has now been busy. But of the millions of people around the globe, could he really handle them all?
Good thing there are Japanese inventions to help him in his journey to make everyone feel loved, all kinds of love, this Valentine’s Day.
# 5 - Asuna on FOVE to spread LOVE
Still don’t have someone to be with on V-day? This is now your chance to have a date with Sword Art Online’s Asuna Yuuki.
FOVE VR is helping Cupid to bring you the fictional female character in the phenomenal series, Sword Art Online.
In this virtual reality, fans now have the chance to meet Asuna in person, or rather, online. This bizarre experience will let you interact with Asuna as if she is real. Asuna was also programmed to genuinely react to the emotions and actions of the users.
#4 - Indoor Stargazing is Amazing
Are you and your partner fond of the unusual dates? Are you the outdoor types who love spending time with nature than sitting down in a fine-dining restaurant?
But it seems that you will be busy on Valentine’s Day, so you call Cupid for some help.
Here comes the Homestar Classic Ultraman Planetarium, offering you a stargazing date, at the comforts of your home.
This is actually a planetarium projector, a special version of the Super Megastar II, produced by Takayuki Ohira.
You could just set it up easily in your house, lay down on a soft mattress and watch your ceiling as it shines bright like a sky full of stars. How romantic, isn’t it?
#3 - TAPIA: Someone to watch over you
How about if you will be away from your loved one this Valentines? Worry no more for Cupid also has a gadget for that
Tapia is a robot companion that could watch your partner, especially if you’re not around. This kawaii companion robot has a lot of features such as User Recognition, Communication, Media, Life Support and Monitoring.
And also, this has a quick charging base wherein you could just put down Tapia and let it charge itself.
It can also purchase specific items and remind you about your schedules. Since it can recognize you as an owner, Tapia could also reply to your messages as if you are really talking to a real companion.
Don’t worry Tapia is just there to watch over your partner, not to replace you, so don’t be jealous.
#2 - SYNC DINNER: Connecting Heart Strings
If being far away from each other this Valentines is inevitable, there is still a way to have a romantic date and eat together in face to face.
Sync Dinner lets you have time to eat with your partner, even if you are miles apart. This innovation has a mirror-like screen wherein you could see your partner in real-time.
Moreover, Sync Dinner also serves delicious food (take note: This is real food not just virtual ones). You could also request for violinists to spice up the ambience.
This innovation truly proves that “love has no boundaries.” And the next item will take the boundaries to a whole new level.
#1 - Gatebox: Your Virtual Partner
Do you want to settle but don’t have a partner to settle with? Here is when Gatebox comes to Cupid’s aid.
Inside Gatebox’s cylinder glass tube is your holographic anime character wife, Azuma Hikari.
Azuma is programmed to be your real-life partner, who will let you feel that there is someone caring for you, waiting for your arrival after a long day of work. You can even watch your favourite shows together. You can even talk to her about your life goals. She will be your virtual wife until you find the other half of your heart. That is if you still have plans of finding her.
All of these just proves that in Japan, technology is now the norm, and is now making its way to Cupid’s territory, which is that thing called LOVE.
