Japanese company Konami will issue this summer a curious LCD-based portable game in which the MP3 player “raises” virtual characters. This MP3 toy is called the Otoizm. Otoizm will require people to raise their digital pets by feeding them some block rockin’ beats. Otoizm is connected to an MP3 player and will classify the loaded music into one of 19 different categories. Depending on what category of music is playing will directly affect the type of growth and changes the digital pet will encounter.
