TOKYO – Panasonic today unveiled The NiJiMe – a digital headset that transforms the real world into 2D.
The NiJiMe – short for Ni Jigen Megane or “2D Glasses” – uses special algorithms to give the 3D world a flatter, more “drawn” look, and adjusts the color palette to be more in line with anime. The algorithms also work on people, changing little sisters into imoutos, annoying girls at school into cute tsunderes, and a bored Starbucks barrista into polite, demure meidos.
Additionally, the NiJiMe includes powerful real-time graphic processing, which transforms school fights into shounen battles and boring mahjong games into wizardry duels with gigantic dragons, fire tornadoes, and unending waves of arrows and missiles.
According to Panasonic’s North American Head of Marketing, Selina Brock, the NiJiMe will also be used to encourage children to engage in a healthier lifestyle: “If every uninteresting and socially awkward gym class could suddenly become an ecchi oppai fest,” she told Anime Maru, “children will be clamoring for more exercise!”
The NiJiMe is expected to go on sale early next year.
fale af lmfaooo niggga
AHAHAH THEY FORGOT TO EDIT OUT THE CREDITS IN THE FIRST PIC
Maybe there are just credits floating around in the 2D world
ikr
Facial identification software? for all we know it could be the girls name…which would be awesome…
Can/did you even read those “credits”?
“Original work: absolute peace.”
I’m guessing that’s on purpose… =/
Dude that’s literally a poster from AnoHana.
I can see this sort of technology having some truly terrifying repercussions on society. What’s to stop people from wearing these 24/7 to make their boring, unsatisfactory lives better than it really is? This NiJiMe is just going to encourage more people to become welfare-leaching shut-ins, trapped in some twisted fantasy world. What’s the point of aspiring for something better or contributing to society, when you can just put on some magical glasses that’ll have you fighting ninjas and banging a hot anime chick?
For that matter, if this sort of thing were to become popular enough, the government could easily abuse it to their own gain. If everyone’s wearing a NiJiMe and enjoying Anime Land, the government can just use it to hide any unpleasant things from the people. Police brutality or the massive dumbing of some toxic waste into a lake could go on right in front of people’s eyes, and they would have no idea!
But of course, when this comes out next year, the otakus and nerds will come crawling out of their mother’s basement to get a copy of these, and they won’t give any of these repercussions a second thought. All they care about is getting the best highscore in their video games and masturbating to pedo loli porn. And when they come lining up for the midnight release of the NiJiMe, I’ll just be watching them from the other side of the street, shaking my head and cursing the eventual fall of liberty and free-thinking democracy.
The government could abuse this?
How retarded do you think people are?
So first of all, you believe this is a product that everyone would buy. Secondly you imply that everybody will keep them on at all times, so that the oh so evil government could fuck things up in front of us and lastly you contradict yourself by first saying that everyone who uses it will become shut-ins and no longer contribute to society and yet the government (who is powered by society) could abuse it?
Eeeeh? O.o
it’s incredibly farfetched, but actually sounds like an interesting sci-fi movie… though it’s kind of just a reverse “They Live” so I dunno if it would really work as that either.
*que roddy piper fighting with a guy for 10 minutes to put on sunglasses*
How retarded do you think people are?
VERY RETARDED
Isn’t that just the plot of a videogame that came out a few years ago?
You have an extremely vivid imagination. You don’t need those glasses. You already live in a fantasy world if you actually believe all this garbage.
‘Serial Experiments Lain’, here we come?
But of course, when this comes out next year, the otakus and nerds will come crawling out of their mother’s basement to get a copy of these, and they won’t give any of these repercussions a second thought.
Wow what nothing wrong with being a need and otaku.
these glasses would not make me a shut in.
in fact they would make me wanna go out even more since I would wanna see every thing in anime form!
Right?? I cant wait for them to come out actually!
hmm… i wonder what ill look like…
why the heck do you have an anime profile pic if you hate anime so much? just let people do what they wanna do and besides… that not all we care about and we do not live in our mother basement. you over thinking and being an ass.
I live in my grandmothers attic XD but ya know I’m only 17
Because most of what you said doesn’t exist fucktard
its truly incredible to witness the amount of people who didnt comprehend you were making a joke
Even in parody, he didn’t make a joke. He just said something stupid (something people would totally say) and expects people to laugh. It’s not satire, it’s not even trolling.
you need to submit your idea as a new real life action / anime movie…
well….if someone loves anime or just dont like how the world is when they can go to this and be happy like me i love anime and to be honest i would buy this because anime is what keep me going its what my life is holding on right now and my plan is to make anime real one day where we can be happy and not sad any more.
You know its fake right?
You are far too stupid to insult.
If you have such a huge problem with it, then why don’t you stop sitting on your ass and go do something about it? I am so sick and tired of people hiding behind screens, hoping that their internet post will raise awareness. Im not going to address whether I think you’re right or wrong because there very well could be some repercussions. But that’s not my point. My point is, you think you’re better then the people who think something is cool without thinking about what it could do to society. Oh but I’m sure you’re just fine sitting on your ass eating processed garbage? Its the same damn thing you’re talking about. The “government” (food industry) pumps in dyes, hormones, food additives, and we don’t seem to care because it tastes good. So, why don’t you stop being a hypocrite, and if you have such a big problem about with what seems like a fake advertisement, then go do something about it, instead of sitting on the computer bitching about a cool piece of tech.
Wow dude way to be a douche bag
-wipes tear- Part of my dream being realized…Though I have not yet weighed whether or not it is a useful dream to market or even pursue creating.
Maybe the dream I had about something of the like was just an echo of what’s to come in the near future…
I mean Disney was involved in the dream so I suggest by saying this, since Disney owns everything, the dream I had kind of makes sense. I wonder what this will become in the coming years… lol.
No es fake
The first 4 sentences were believable, they ruined it when they started getting more far-fetched with the glasses’ capabilities. I would believe the ‘drawn’ filter, but changing peoples faces? That would require some serious processing power, only capable with thousands of dollars worth of computer, not to mention having to fit it all into a pair of glasses. Give it 30-50 years
This is about as much of a foreseeable problem as virtual reality, and honestly you’re presenting your opinion as if these are being produced as some sort of experimental government technology when it’s probably just being produced for the same reason as any typical video game. I’m not concerned, and I personally support all of these huge steps in video games and artistic digital media being taken today.
Just finished Steins;Gate, so that reference made me pretty happy. I wish this were real.
could publish more less the cost of the lens and if it will be exclusive to asia or just cover the American market …. I find it quite interesting that proposed by panasonic, excellent information from you thanks!
I dont give a shit if these are real or not. I fucking want them.
Why can’t this be real ;_;
Dennou Coil? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODTvrQFtEOM
Does anyone lnow how much it will cost when it goes for sale?
probably a couple hundred
I feel like this is fake, because I would’ve heard more news on this by now. Plus, for it to do all that in a pair of glasses would need a lot of power, and thus, a lot of money
Even though it’s probably fake…..I want them.
A lot of people seem to be upset about these classes, claiming governments could abuse them or people could become shut ins, but as an artist, I think this is great to see the world in a 2-D perspective! Don’t Japanese animations feat re watercolour backgrounds? that’s great for painting and drafting! This is a very creative invention!
Watch them be real and really work. Then all you people saying fake will shit yourselves, and be like. I want some too.
Please help me out! Do you know where I can buy this?!?!?! PLEASE TELL ME!! This could be the only thing that can stop me from cutting myself and stop me from commiting suicide! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GIVE ME A LINK!! my email is misherukawaii14@gmail.com thank you thank you thank you!!!!!
