It's through the camera or any digital device. You're thinking of holograms where anybody can see it.

I have to admit that dance is so "fabulous". Man, what folks will do when they put their mind to it. Very impressive.

Forget that, if he's using the AR Miku software as a base, I know who I want to see dancing at 50m. Very Happy

AR means "augmented reality." It refers to 3D computer graphics rendered on/in a real environment. So, yes, the only people who can see the titan are people looking at the computer display (or people watching the video made from it).

Had this Colossal Titan been real, his dancing could end up ruining many homes, even if he wasn't intending to spread destruction throughout his vicinity.

Amazing. It also made me curious if Linked Horizon is returning for the opening theme(s) in 2016.

I call that pretty damn impressive, and worth it just to see the Titan bust out his mad dancing skills. XD

"Explaining what I was using it for to the manager was... a bit tricky." Well, he only wanted to see make the Colossal Titan dance... Laughing

I suddenly feel this urge to learn the dance routine...
