The hacker, who goes by the handle Alsionesvx, hacked together the Asus Xtion Promotion sensor and the Vuzix Wrap 920 VR glasses to create a copy of Japanese virtual pop idol Hatsune Miku, as reported by Hack a Day.
It's an impressive piece of work. Hatsune Miku will track the user with her head and eyes, follow them around and even interact with both the user and her environment — she casts a shadow, will disappear behind objects in front of her, and the video below shows Alsionesvx patting her, hitting her over the head and flipping her tie. It's a little bit odd, at the very least, and disconcerting at the end, but we're still blown away by the home-made ingenuity of it all.
