It&#8217;s always fun &#8211; there are cool sessions and autograph opportunities along with an artist alley and exhibit hall full of people selling everything. This year was bigger than last year &#8211; on Saturday it was hard to walk around some parts of the convention. I took a lot of pictures and one video. Let&#8217;s start with the video. This is Tachikoma at 1\/8th scale &#8211; a smart toy you can interact with directly and via a smart phone. It&#8217;s not cheap &#8211; the price at the booth was a whopping $1700 USD.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-playlist wp-video-playlist wp-playlist-light\">\n\t\t<video controls=\"controls\" preload=\"none\" width=\"640\"\n\t\t height=\"368\"\t><\/video>\n\t<div class=\"wp-playlist-next\"><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"wp-playlist-prev\"><\/div>\n\t<noscript>\n\t<ol>\n\t\t<li><a href='https:\/\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Tachikoma.mp4'>Tachikoma<\/a><\/li>\t<\/ol>\n\t<\/noscript>\n\t<script type=\"application\/json\" class=\"wp-playlist-script\">{\"type\":\"video\",\"tracklist\":true,\"tracknumbers\":true,\"images\":true,\"artists\":true,\"tracks\":[{\"src\":\"https:\/\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Tachikoma.mp4\",\"type\":\"video\/mp4\",\"title\":\"Tachikoma\",\"caption\":\"Tachikoma\",\"description\":\"Tachikoma\",\"meta\":{\"length_formatted\":\"0:13\"},\"dimensions\":{\"original\":{\"width\":640,\"height\":368},\"resized\":{\"width\":640,\"height\":368}},\"image\":{\"src\":\"https:\/\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/video.svg\",\"width\":48,\"height\":64},\"thumb\":{\"src\":\"https:\/\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/video.svg\",\"width\":48,\"height\":64}}]}<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\t\n<p>I&#8217;ve been collecting Hatsune Miku statues since I have the Vocaloid software and have used it.
