Today we went to the National Museum of Emerging Science and Technology in Odaiba. Some of the displays were pretty cheesy. For instance they had a special exhibition about aliens. My friend and I joked that it was probably just a room full of gaijin. A room of gaijin would have been more interesting than the poor attempt at alien themed toys, movie posters, and film clips that they were showing. The only interesting display they had was white table that had an animated display projected onto it. There were sensors above the table that would detect if you touched within the display and would open windows showing larger images and more information.
On the second floor they had an area of displays of robotics and physics.
A picture of a magnet "floating" above a semi-conductor.
A video of a floating mag-lev train.
And of course they had
ASIMO the Honda robot.
Google video seems to be having some issues right now. I have a couple more videos I would like to post so I will try posting them later.
