Hasta La Gadget!

Customers can step right into cyberspace until April 19th at Shibuya’s Parco department store. Promoting the 3D release of “Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex Solid State Society” web company Kayac Inc installed a large game booth that lets players immerse into the game and float in space.

The game uses the microsoft Kinect sensor to let players use gesture and movement to travel through space in a bid to capture Tachikoma. Controls use the whole range of movements from twisting to turn and moving forward and back to shift perspective then using an arm movement to zap and capture the characters. With the installed wrap around screen the effect is pretty absorbing and really feels like you are floating around.

The store itself has various anime goods and a display of some original shots from the Ghost In The Shell movie also for fans to see.

Users twist and turn below in the original video from Kayac:

The game is on the 5th floor of Parco, Shibuya in the S.A.C Premium Shop until April 19th.
