As you see in the above screenshot, Oamos is a noisy search engine with what they call in glorious understatement, “audio-visual display interfaces.” I would not attempt to use the Oamos search engine in the office—the wild squeaks, bleats and pumping techno music might be frowned upon in a normally crypt-like Japanese office.
However, I enjoy that Oamos is designed to make Internet searches fun and it encourages exploring weirder connections among the terms you enter into its search function.
The directions for using Oamos are simple: “Let me inspire you to a topic you choose” —‘gaijin’ (alien/foreigner in Japanese) for example.
ENJOY.
