Creativity of Japanese in creating an item in the technology world deserves thumbs up. I was so creative, often goods that they offer even more suited to say "weird". For example, human-shaped cell phone that was introduced by the Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International (ATR) of Japan. This phone was created with the intention of making users feel closer to his interlocutors at the time of communicating. Not only the shape that resembles the human, material used to make the phone that was made to resemble human skin.
As far as visible in the photo, the phone that resembles the human form (or rather like a plastic doll) measuring a little bigger than the palm of the hand. At the head of the speaker and the phone is available in the body there are indicator lights penggunaa phone. In the standby red light, whereas when it is being used lights changed to blue. Voice recognition feature planned to be added to this phone. This phone is a cooperation project between the University of Osaka, mobile phone operator NTT DoCoMo, and several other institutions. They hope to sell this phone on the market within five years.
The desire of the creators of this phone is to feel the physical closeness with the other person can still understand me. However, the closeness felt by posting material that resembles human skin cell phone to the ear is a strange idea. For me to do video-calling and use of social media makes more sense, let alone mobile phone that has these features will definitely be more convenient to carry in a pants pocket.
