Do you know Bandai's entertainment toy " Hako Vision" released on January 27th? Ever since I learned about it on TV last year, I've been looking forward to the release date.


Hako Vision is a toy that allows you to enjoy "projection mapping" using your smartphone. Projection mapping is a technology that uses CG created on a personal computer and projection equipment such as a projector to project images onto a building or space that looks like a screen. Events are being held here and there, such as theme parks, this winter, and it has become a hot topic. You can enjoy the projection mapping for only 525 yen ...!

So, this time I got the first Hako Vision "Tokyo Michi Terrace 2012" TOKYO HIKARI VISION "". At first glance it's just a small box. It's kind of light, but I wonder if it's inside ... I will prepare my smartphone and give it a try.


When I opened it, a model of the station building, a clear plate, and gum came out of the box.



Assemble these parts in the box as described. It's pretty surreal at this point.


Scan the QR code on the side of the box with your smartphone to play the dedicated video on YouTube. Adjust the volume and the brightness of the screen, and put it on the top of the box as it is ... (Gum also pops into your mouth).



it's amazing! A colorful light show has begun to the music! The windows and decorations perfectly overlap the model of the station building, and the depth is expressed as it unfolds, making it feel like you are watching an actual event. The theme is a journey around various "lights" that exist all over the world . It is said that various lights express the "natural light" created by God and the "city light" created by human activities.



The video is about 10 minutes. It's nice to be able to review it many times.

Oh, by the way, the other day, I invited an anxious person to an illumination date and refused, "I don't like it because it's cold." Moreover, because the box is small, you may be able to approach nature while looking into it ...?

By the way, the second release scheduled to be released on April 14th is "MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM". Bandai is Gundam. It's fun here!

A small but full of dreams and hopes. I'm not satisfied with my stomach, but how about a snack for your heart?
