You would chuckle at this fellow for pretending to be taking a picture along with his virtual girlfriend , but he’s happy. He’s on vacation together with his love and they’re in a place which caters to their type of peculiar relationship.
The town of Atami, Japan is filled with landmarks with barcodes which if viewed using a cellphone’s camera will reveal young men’s virtual lovers. There’s even a hotel with barcodes in its rooms so that you can show the women in ” flattering summer kimonos.”
