dc.descriptionThis is one of hundreds of 60-second radio spots created by the Center for East Asian Studies (CEAS) for Kansas Public Radio (KPR). The purpose of this outreach program is to introduce the people of Kansas to the culture and current issues of East Asia.
dc.description.abstractBroadcast Transcript: It had to come to this. You know it did. Sega, the Japanese video game maker that brought you Sonic the Hedgehog has developed a new hands-free video game. No. You don't control it using your mind or a helmet and head motions. Your controller is, well, let me put it this way: the game is played at the urinal. By directing the stream at a sensor that measures speed and volume, guys can play one of five video games that are broadcast on a console mounted on top of the urinals. An infra-red device shuts the game down if players become too exercised and lose their aim. We're far too highbrow here to make the obvious reference to 'joystick' but not too highbrow to say this brings a whole new meaning to the idea of the "Wii" system. #ceas #hacker #japan
