They have this Spotme device at this conference which has a very cool feature. You can see the names of the other participants who are near you and approximately how many meters they are away from you. You can also exchange business cards with people which get emailed to you.
Similar to the Japanese Lovegety but a bit more serious focus. ;-)
My Sony DSC-FX77 is getting flakey. It's creating those artifacts you see in the picture...

usually we use spotme in switzerland at single parties. ;-)
So it IS the same as Lovegety! ;-)
Hmm... I wonder if you have the FX77's camera's picture quality setting on "Normal" instead of "Fine"...
seems to be a dynamic color range issue...
No, it's on fine mode. It's weird. The artifacts show up even when I am just framing the shot. They show up, then there're gone again. The fact that thez show up on the preview screen makes me think that it's broken or a horrible bug.

Welcome ! We are looked for the producer of "LOVEGETY" (1998) - a dating toy. It is a small electronic wireless system - pager. You can find, meet: f.eg.: friend,gay,girl - on the street, bar (by preselected option). Apparently, you put in your details (f.eg.-sexual orientation- and when someone compatible is in proximity, it vibrates or chimes or something. In the US, someone was marketing something similar to gay men, under the name "gaydar". Once the holder selects a mode, the device searches for Lovegety holders of the the same pager in a five meter radius. If it locates a holder with the same mode, the "get" light flashes and the device beeps, so the pair can find each other.
