Japanese news uses CGI to refute groping allegations
November 19th, 2008

After ten years of litigation, the Japan supreme court ruled in favor of a man who challenged an allegation that he fondled a woman on a Tokyo train.

The Kunitachi man [Ed - he’s my neighbor, FYI] fought the police charges in 1999, then filed civil suits against the woman accuser. Reporting on the outcome of the case, a Tokyo television news program took care to include animated digital humanoids to depict the alleged molesting motion.

The man is blue, and the woman is in red. Click here to see the news video and read the full story at Lets Japan
