As reported today at 4gamer, Love Plus was on display at the Digital Content Expo 2010 event, a technology show that runs through the 17th in Odaiba. Konami had its own booth at the event, where the game's Augmented Reality and Vocaloid voice synthesis technology were on display.

But the real show of technology came in a separate booth that was set up in the show's ConTEX area, which highlights next generation contents technology. Here, Tokyo University's Graduate School of Information Science and Technology and Keio University's Graduate School of Media Design were showing "RePro 3D," a new interface that simulates touch. Thanks to a collaboration with Konami, the subject of the demonstration was Love Plus.
The RePro 3D interface requires that users wrap a sensor around their pointer finger, then touch a special panel. The touches are translated into a 3D world (that's 3D as in popping out of the screen 3D).
Exhibitors created a touchable 3D demo of SD ("super deformed") girls from Love Plus. The demo began by showing the the girls fly out from a DS unit. Samplers could then touch one of the girls, with the other two retreating back into the DS. The girls were able to react to your touches, turning to look at you depending on where you touched them.
