Yotaro Baby Simulator Teaches Newborn Care, Terrifies at the Same Time
by Jasmin Malik Chua, 01/29/10
Oh creepy, larger-than-life fake baby in the bear suit, how do we fear thee? Let us count the ways… First, there’s the interactive screen that serves as the baby’s face, complete with facial expressions that shift from happy-as-a-clam to inconsolable (a hidden water-supply tank provides “real” tears and — we kid you not — “actual” snot). Then there is the infrared camera, which the Yotaro Baby Simulator uses to interact with its victims faux-rents by responding to touch. The researchers at the University of Tsukuba in Japan even included built-in sensors in the baby’s rattle and tummy that trigger audible cooing and movement in its arms and legs, like a Tickle Me Elmo but infinitely creepier. Don’t believe us? Watch the video after the jump.

This is super natural and really behaving like a real kid.But if some one will look that baby at night then he/she will definitely frighten because baby’s face is so big that any one can be afraid.
