The Sonic Gun

Tomoaki Yanagisawa’s Sonic gun project resembles an old modified, yet sophisticated NES Duck Hunt gun, but it’s not. The Sonic Gun game allows you to record any sound you wish with the gun, aim and shoot at any target that can receive the sound, and then freak people out! The gun has 3 modes including send, play and send/play. This could of course lead to all kinds of fun possibilities or otherwise missed out opportunities. For instance, you friend is in jail (the jail has a window looking outside) and you want to have a little head to head action on the Nintendo DS. You just point the gun at your buddy’s receiver to communicate and bang! You’re good to go. Or you could just use the DS to relay a message. Okay maybe this wasn’t what Tomoaki had in mind but that’s how I would use it, if I had a friend in jail.
