Remote-controlled Japanese girl by NTT research
As I previously mentioned in 3Yen’s report New Japanese stealth technology….for reporters, the 2005 SIGGRAPH computer graphics conference in Los Angeles is showing all sorts of glitzy tech. In this case, NTT researcher Taro Maeda and his crew are showing off their remote-controlled Japanese girl.
Don’t miss NTT’s parasitic humanoid website and the cute video of a remotely controlled Japanese giggling, “Oh sensei, pleeeeease.”
Remote-Controlled Humans
LA—-….No, she’s not intoxicated. The young lady’s vestibular system, which controls her sense of movement and balance, has been thrown off-kilter by two weak electrical currents delivered just behind her ears. This sort of electrical stimulation is known as galvanic vestibular stimulation, or GVS. When a weak DC current is delivered to the mastoid behind your ear, your body responds by shifting your balance toward the anode. The stronger the current, the more powerful its pull. If it is strong enough, it not only throws you off balance but alters the course of your movement.
…..NTT researchers debuted a device designed to exploit the effects of GVS. Known as “Shaking the World,” the project is the result of research carried out by NTT researcher Taro Maeda. Maeda and his colleagues…

Japan developing remote control for humans

ATSUGI, Japan: ….
Nippon Telegraph & Telephone Corp., Japans top telephone company, says it is developing the technology to perhaps make video games more realistic.
A special headset was placed on my cranium by my hosts during a recent demonstration at an NTT research center. It sent a very low voltage electric current from the back of my ears through my head — either from left to right or right to left, depending on which way the joystick on a remote-control was moved.The technology is called galvanic vestibular stimulation — essentially, electricity messes with the delicate nerves inside the ear that help maintain balance.
I felt a mysterious, irresistible urge to start walking to the right whenever the researcher turned the switch to the right. I was convinced — mistakenly — that this was the only way to maintain my balance.
