About Asia Focus

  • In response to the great need for foresight about Asia, IFTF has launched the Asia Focus Program. Asia Focus research topics are large-scale, under-explored areas from which unexpected futures will emerge. It is part of IFTF's flagship program, the Ten-Year Forecast Program, which provides a broad scan of the environment and is a leading source of foresight for a vangard of business, government, and nonprofit organizations.

The official mobile game of the 2008 Olympics

Catching up on news: NTT DoCoMo unveiled the official mobile phone game of the 2008 Olympics at the Tokyo Game Show 2007 in September:

"In one of the game's events, you put the phone down on a table and pump your arms like a sprinting runner. The phone's camera picks up your movements and accelerates your onscreen running character accordingly."

Unfortunately I have been unable to find more information on the game.

Thanks to Jason Tester for the link. Original short post at picturephoning.
