The next generation yo-yo "MUGENYOYO" developed by Tommy Takala
Tommy Takala will launch the new feeling toy entertainment "MUGENYOYO", which combines electric yo-yo and AR effect on May 26th. The first Japanese toy to work with "TikTok" on a dedicated APP. The suggested retail price is 5940 yen and the target is over 8 years old. Starting from March 8, crowdfunding began to accept appointments. At a press conference held on March 8th, Minister Masahiko Yamazaki of the NEXT business room of the company's NEXT Business Department said: "in the child's mind, as long as Tomika is allowed to run, the dust will fly, and if the baby leaves collide with each other, there will be sparks. It is MUGENYOYO that will visualize it. I hope that the generation who left the yo-yo once can get it again and find new fun. MUGENYOYO can enjoy everything from yo-yo games to shooting with AR effects to posting to social networking sites. We propose a new Assobi to digitally update the analog yo-yo and synchronize it with the smartphone camera app. In order to enable beginners to immediately challenge a variety of skills "tricks", equipped with an electric motor. The new Asobi users of the next generation of yo-yo will place the entity on the NFC tag of their smartphone and then use a dedicated app to shoot real-time videos with AR effects corresponding to yo-yo movements. Videos can be saved on mobile phones or shared and enjoyed on social networking sites. In addition, through skill training while shooting, experience values such as "step value" can be stored. Based on this value, a new drawing is added to the application. This is a structure that becomes more interesting by constantly improving the level of animation. In addition, the score of the weighting value is displayed as a ranking in the application. We can improve our skills while competing with our competitors. The dedicated application draws graphics on the track in real time in response to the glowing color of the joint yo-yo LED. In addition, you can also work directly with TikTok, a short film platform, to add music and comments to the videos you shoot. The design deduces the world view of street culture × Internet punk. Mr. Miura, the world yo-yo champion who won seven consecutive championships in the World Series, attended the press conference. Showing the demonstration of MUGENYOYO, from the unique point of view of the talent, he commented, "when creating and practicing new skills, if you are electric, you don't need to roll up and concentrate on practice." As for the partnership with social networking sites, he also said happily: "so far, I have also had the opportunity to release videos, but if I use MUGENYOYO and dedicated APP, I can make videos that will interest more people."
