聲稱是第一套利用AR (Augmented Reality)的Figure, 透過Camera, 電腦中的Virtual figure會跟隨使中者手上的道具作出反應, 看來還應用了pattern recognition的技術 (像市面上某些Figure一樣衣服可脫)

如果有配音的話一定更有趣

說不定將來可以節省放Figure的空間了

‘DIGIT’AL RING BOASTS GOOGLE RANKING

SLIDES = new slideshow(“SLIDES”); SLIDES.timeout = 5000; SLIDES.prefetch = -1; SLIDES.repeat = true; s = new slide(); s.src = “/seven/10142007/photos/news003a.jpg”; s.text = unescape(“STATUS SYMBOL: The readout of this prototype ring shows your number of Google hits.”);s.link = “/seven/10142007/photos/news003a.jpg”; s.target = “”; s.attr = “”; s.filter = “”; SLIDES.add_slide(s); if (false) SLIDES.shuffle();

The readout of this prototype ring shows your number of Google hits.

STATUS SYMBOL: The readout of this prototype ring shows your number of Google hits.

October 14, 2007 — This ring should be a big hit.

A German artist has invented an accessory that publicizes how many mentions you get in a Google search – a ring that flashes the number on a digital display.

“Your Google ranking is the new status symbol, more than diamonds and wealth or even being on television,” said Marcus Kison, 30, who spent six months producing the glass prototype.

Kison is looking for a marketer for the titanium band, which he says should fetch upwards of $700, and wants it to hit the market next year. It comes with a jewel-case docking station that plugs into a computer. Every time you “charge” the ring, it updates your latest Google ranking.

(Paris Hilton, you’re at 17.5 million hits as of this writing.)

“Being in people’s minds means being important . . . Every content creator that copies and pastes your name will raise the value of your virtual mirrored importance,” Kison said.

Kison says President Bush is No. 1 in Google hits, with 40.1 million.

“Just by inventing the ring, I’ve jumped to 10,000,” Kison boasts.
