Ok, so this is for all those slightly creepy voyeurs out there [yes, that means you, and you, and you over there in the corner]. The Japanese-developed Dennou Figure ARis [which translates to Cyber Figure Alice] is a virtual figurine which can be controlled through the expert use of your … errr … fingers. As the Himeya Shop notes: ‘when you touch her with the AR Stick, she shows various reactions. You can also change her clothes and give her some presents’. And all for just 9,800 Yen. The mind boggles at the potential uses for this thing! Read more

We used to depend on sundials back in the day, but now there are multiple ways to tell the time. And Tokyo Flash has just invented another one. Based on LED technology, these watches are not only stylish but futuristic and wildly innovative. They even have a watch from minimalist designer Naoto Fukasawa that is more than just your basic timepiece. The Tokyo Flash site says that their watches are supposed to ‘resemble the various moods of a human’, and they’re definitely an attention grabber. These are watches to take us right through to the 22nd century.
