Digital Poster Responds When You Kiss It

Keidai Ogawa explains the technology behind the poster:

It is displayed on a screen and displays a variety of images depending on the distance from the user, which is measured using an overhead ultrasonic sensor. As the user leans in to plant one on the poster, the image changes from a default image, to one showing the moment of smooching, to a coy blush afterward.

Centrenetworks calculates the true cost of an iPhone:

• $640 Phone - $599 plus tax (~8%)
• $60/mo Voice Plan - cheapest plan with unlimited nights and weekends
• $40/mo MEdia Max 3000 Bundle - includes 3000 texts and unlimited MediaNet which I assume will work as the browse function on the iPhone
• $8/mo Fees - lovely fees

What else could you buy for this amount?

• 387 Starbucks grande drinks
• 2,129 McDonalds hamburgers
• 968 rides on the NYC Subway
• A round-trip ticket to Japan from the USA
• A new LCD 42" tv with enough money left over to buy all 5 seasons of 24 on DVD
• A Mac Powerbook
• 20% of a monthly ad on TechCrunch

It would be a lot cheaper to buy yourself one of these cardboard phone covers. Everyone would be fooled, Yeah, right.
