do you ever feel like things are out of control? the virtual reality laboratory at tokyo institute of technology (no acronym) have discovered one reason: tiny ‘brownies’ called kobito are pushing stuff around. you can finally see them at work through the newly developed “kobito window,” a screen that shows them pushing your tea around the table when you’re not looking. the best thing is, you can finally push back - the tea, that is - and see the devastation it causes to these little creatures. having learned about them i’m sure to be on the lookout from now on - and so should you.
