Augmented Reality apps on mobile devices seem to be gaining in popularity. Just recently COSPA announced that they are releasing a pair of T-shirts that take advantage of virtual augmentation on smart phones. Obviously themed to match the recent virtual reality anime Accel World, one shirt gives you silver wings from Arita Haruyuki's (Silver Crow) Burst Avatar and the other shirt (made for girls) gives you Kuroyukihime's (Black Lotus) avatar butterfly wings. The Silver Crow shirts come in sizes M, L, and XL while the Black Lotus shirts come in sizes S, M, and L.
Tateo Retsu, best known for her work as the mangaka for Full Metal Panic!, sent us this art piece for her American fans along with a special holiday greeting:
"A lot has happened this year, did everybody have a memorable year?
For me, the first time coming to the United States and meeting all the otakus [anime fans] was the most memorable.
Next time I would love to visit a convention not as a guest, but as a participant! I want to take my time to enjoy the whole event, look around, and take lots of pictures!!!
Just like for me this year, I wish fun happenings to everyone. Happy Holidays!!!~Tateo Retsu"
