Weird Japan - improper webcam uses

Occasionally I’ll come across something that is totally funny and totally inappropriate as you will find out in this case. As usual I was going through my end of the day updates – technology news, lolcats, etc. With the technology blogs I read the editorial is excellent, comical in most cases, often playing on puns of the product with insertions of popular culture for extra juice. This one is baffling. Just read:
Japanese Erotic Game Uses Webcam for Boner Detection

"How's this for a bad idea: Japanese erotic game Love Death 4 is using face tracking and shape detection to add a nice dose of horror to the game's already-questionable content.
There are scant details for how it'll work, and hey, maybe there are other shapes that an erotic game would want to detect other than the shape of a baby's arm holding a crabapple. But I can't think of any.
But hey, maybe this is a good thing! It's innovation! It seems weird now, but when Natal comes out we'll probably be using our boners to reload machine guns in Gears of War 3. [ TeaTime via Canned Dogs via Kotaku]"
