MYSQ (My Style So Qute) is an interactive “video booth” for shooting 30-second movies that can be viewed on mobile phones. It resembles Purikura, one of the most important machines ever invented for the Japanese arcade game industry.

Here’s a link to a video clip that explains how it can be used.

The booth can accommodate up to three people so you can shoot Prikura style video clips with your friends. Inside the booth is a fluffy thing called a MYSQ ring – you wear it on your hand. A camera detects the movement of your MYSQ ring. Also, floor sensors detect your foot movement. So, the system can control video effects based on your (and your friends’) hand/foot movement.

After a session is finished, the system processes the captured video and generates a movie file that can be viewed on mobile phones. When the movie file is ready, a QR code is displayed on the screen. Scan the QR code with your camera phone and then download the movie. You can of course send the downloaded movie to your friends, etc.

MYSQ is exhibited at KDDI Design Studio in Harajuku since this March.
