Denno figure ARis

known as 電脳フィギュア ‑アリス

Referenced by Agnès Giard in Les objets du désir au Japon (2009), this would be the first “interactive virtual girlfriend” (2009, 49). Dressed as a maid, the character appears on screen on a cube. IRL, a concrete avatar of the cube allows interaction with the figurine represented in the game. Using a spatula, one can “look under Alice’s skirts, […] caress her, […] jostle her, […] change her outfit” (Giard 2009, 49).
