Blow on his face to wake him up and the little rascal will lip-sync to the tunes coming from your PC. You'll be spell bound by this pointless yet oh-so-cool bit of technology!
Tengu is a cool little USB gadget that you connect to the USB slot
in your computer or laptop and he instantly becomes a companion who sits there with you. Tengu
reacts to sounds and will mime along to songs if you have music playing on your computer. You can even
chat away to him if you want (make sure no one is watching, you don't want them to get worried about your sanity...)
Lipsyncing!
Tengu does not need any additional software for it to work, simply plug in and you are away. When Tengu hears no sound for a while it will fall asleep, to wake Tengu up all you need to do is
blow on his face. As Tengu has a number of different faces, if you blow on the mic his face expression will change.
Sitting at a computer for long periods alone can get a bit borin - just don't tell all your friends you have a USB electronic mate or they might think you've lost the plot.

What They Say
It's difficult to put your finger on why this is hilarious - but it is... calculated to turn responsible adults into giggling children.
