Bad Breath fights monsters at Japan whacky tech fair
Bad Breath fights monsters at Japan whacky tech fair:
Tokyo, october 22, 2009 - a monster-slaying bad breath blow gun, a rain-simulating "funbrella" and a navigation-aid helmet that steers users by pulling their ears: welcome to Japan's latest whacky inventions.
These bizarre gadgets and more - some of them useful, most of them fun - went on display at the digital content expo, a fair showcasing futuristic gaming, arts, medical and other technologies that opened thursday.
A clear crowd- pleaser at the four-day event was a blowgun videogame by the Kanazawa Institute of technology where the enemies are a scary lineup of monsters including a vampire, a bat and a club-wielding ogre.
Rather than fire bullets, darts or lasers at the fearsome adversaries, players of all ages eat snacks and sip drinks to boost the smell of their breath, then blast stinky bad breath balls at the screen to kill the monsters.
