Leggy Robot Girls Release Motion Capture Data for Your Pleasure

It’s springtime. And when you say “spring” in Japan, images of cherry blossoms and picnics leap to mind. Screw that. You should be thinking about illuminated, dancing robot girls. Japanese pop group Perfume, whom Kotaku has featured before, is releasing a new single called “Spring of Life”.

What’s also cool is that Perfume, as TechInAsia pointed out, even released its motion w69 capture data set on social coding site Github, enabling people to take it and make all sorts of interesting and odd animations—such as macho Pikachus, dancing Honda’s Asimo, and the inevitable Hatsune Miku version. Dancing robots and macho Pikachus. Good things have come from this video so far. Very good. Culture Smash is a daily dose of things topical, interesting and sometimes even awesome—game related and beyond. w69 slot ทาง เข้า​ https://vimeo.com/39567576
