An exhibition combining science and the popular Dragonball IP is coming to Tokyo’s Fuji TV building for the start of a Japanese tour.

The exhibit Making Science With Dragonball runs between 29 April and 10 May and is sponsored by Fuji TV, the network in Japan which airs the popular anime show.

Aiming to encourage interest in science for kids, the exhibition will combine the show with science-related tasks in a series of interactive exhibits.

One of the most interesting features will be the Kinto-Un simulator, which encourages users “to move Goku’s cloud using only the power of their pure and positive hearts”. Guests will be fitted with an EEG (Electroencephalography) designed to measure alpha waves in the brain. If the user thinks pleasant, calm thoughts, the cloud will move.

One of the iconic Dragonball fighting moves is the Kamehameha – an energy attack used by Goku in the series. For the exhibition, guests will be able to use technology to summon their own version of the magical attack using motion-tracking technology to create an on-screen visual projected onto a wall.

Using optical illusions, visitors will be able to take a photograph on the series’ Karin Tower, making it seem as though they have scaled the structure, climbing above the clouds to a seemingly impossible height. In addition, an acoustic installation designed to mimic the effects of telepathy will enable guests to feel like Goku is talking to them inside their heads from another planet.

This will be the exhibit’s second outing in Japan after its debut at Nagoya City Science Museum in 2014 and also in Taiwan earlier this year. Following its success, Making Science With Dragonball will visit both Osaka and Tokyo in 2015, with the Osaka exhibit taking place between 18 July and 31 August.
