What is Virtual Humanoid?
Virtual Humanoid "U-Tsu-Shi-O-Mi" is an interactive "mixed reality" system that lets you be able to both see and touch virtual 3D characters. The system consists of a special headset, a synchronized pair of a robot and virtual 3D characters.
When you put the headset on, you will see a computer animated human overlaying the featureless robot.The headset has a pair of video cams in it, and the images captured by the cameras are transported to a PC which makes composite images of real and virtual world together in real-time. Then, through the headset, a mixed reality world can be seen.
In addition, when you shake the robot's hand, the images follow the robot motions because the command which drives the virtual character is based on the data of the robot's joint angles.

Using U-Tsu-Shi-O-Mi with AI , you will be able to invite your favorite stars to your living room in the future.
