VIRTUAL KABUKI

Some researchers at the ATR, Advanced Telecommunication Research Center, the biggest Japanese telecom research center (located in Nara prefecture), designed a Kabuki-based virtual reality system that gives the possibility to the user to become the great Kabuki warrior Kamakura Gongorô Kagemasa, the larger-than-life hero of the bombastic play "Shibaraku". I don't know if there is any market for this system, but I wish I could try it once!
