A different post for the Cosplay series!
I have to admit not liking much the idea of posting a collection of photos compiled in video format, but after watching this one in HD mode, I decided it was decent enough to deserve it.

It’s a “best cosplay” compilation made by CrispyJade.
Several of them I posted on other topics, but there are lots of new ones too!
Just have a look. Don’t forget to press the HD button, and the fullscreen mode too for greater effect!

A WiiMote (Wii Nunchuck) mod to create a tail… yes, a tail that reflects it’s user’s mood:

Apparently, it could even help mutes or furries who don’t know the human language to express it’s feelings…
Created by Wei-Chieh Tseng, seems to be based on a cat’s tail (judging by the reactions), and it uses a Wii Nunchuck, RFID cards and other tech gadgetry.
