title from source btw.
When it comes to adult games (or really just any form of sexual content), J-land does it like no other. H-game developer Teatime (which is under the same branch of company as Illusion, the folks behind the highly controversial title "Rapelay") had put up a rather interesting article about the technology involved in their new title, "Tech48".
Teatime states that Tech 48 will be the first adult PC game (and quite possibly the first game in general) to simultaneously deliver both face recognition, and head-tracking technology. T-Cam, a camera designed exclusively for the game, will interactively serve as both your eyes and "your girl"'s eyes. The interesting thing about the device is that the in-game camera angle changes according to where you're physically at. A video demo of the device is available below so check it out. If you want to see how the head-tracking system works right away, jump to 1:27. It's worth a look.
I have to say I'm actually quite impressed (aside from the atrocious anime-voice, that is). Though personally, I would like to see it used in other genre such as FPS and sport games. It also seems like something Nintendo would do as the next step. Teatime writes:
これまで、ゲーム中の女の子は、プレイヤー(主人公)が実際には見えているわけではなく、脚本の中で演じているにすぎませんでした。 Tech48(T-CAM・眼)によって、ゲーム中の女の子(キャラクター)は、全世界のゲーム市場で初めて視覚情報を得る事ができるようになりました。 物を見てから行動する…
"Until now, girls in video games couldn't actually see the player and their actions were pre-determined according to the script. Tech 48's T-cam will be the very first (in the gaming industry) technology to allow characters to perceive visual information, and act according to things in the physical environment."
and of course since it's Japan, they had to suggest what you can appropriately expect from an eroge:
Above: FINALLY.
what the crap ?
