Tengu USB lip sync toy.

03Aug07

I’m planning to go to Tokyo this atumn and I’m definitely going to bring a Tengu back home. It’s just too cute and fun looking.

The Tengu doesn’t really do much at all except to react to sounds by animating its seven different LED face expressions. It can detect music and voices in which case its trying to lip sync. The Tengu goes to sleep when it can’t detect any ambient noise. To reactivate it, you simply whistle, and the Tengu will wake up.

Get your new lipsyncing overlord from Rakuten.

The video after the jump shows a Tengu choir. Listen carefully.
