Pocky Game System Facilitates Biting Communication

Pocky Game System Facilitates Biting Communication

A research group at JAIST has developed a prototype system for playing the Pocky game by yourself. This project is part of the group's research on using biting motions as a form of communication. “In the Pocky game, two people start eating a Pocky from each end, until their lips touch. So you can't play without a partner. We thought it would be good if you could play with your ideal partner. So we've made this system to try doing bite communication in a Pocky game, using a cartoon character or famous person.”

“The system nibbles the Pocky from the far end, and the sound and vibration of biting are communicated to the user.
