How do you really know if you are compatible with your partner? One way to find out is by consulting the Marionettebots displayed inside the United Arrows store window in Shibuya Mark City shopping complex. These kinect sensor-installed mannequins on eight wires can instantly mimic and calculate your movements. You and your partner simply get animated together in front of the respective male and female electric androids, then check the results on the screen. Don’t miss the opportunity to check your compatibility with this neo-futuristic service, as it’s inly there until November 18.
