Eroge game companies are always on the forefront of technology in Japan; taking small steps closer to the ultimate eroge invention, the robotic virtual girlfriend! Canned Dogs reports that eroge maker Teatime has taken another step toward this goal with their new game called Tech48, a game that utilizes face tracking. Using a web cam, the game will determine the angle you are looking at the screen, and then move the camera within the game to match it. So if you wanted to look up your characters skirt, you would have to get extremely low (on your knees) and look up.
For those who live in Japan, Teatime is looking for beta testers, and will send out free cams and trial games to all those who have no problem molesting their computer. What would take Tech48 from being a simple game to an awesome game is making this a body tracking game instead of a face tracking one. No, scratch that. An object and body tracking game. “Alright Sakura, I have an Xbox controller, a yaoi paddle, and a figure of Luffy, pick your poison!
