In case you don't already know, Sega yesterday officially confirmed what "Orbi" is via an official Youtube channel. It's an computer generated, interactive zoo that's going to be based in Yokohama, Japan

It may not be the next SEGA console but it looks pretty darn cool nonetheless! Thanks for posting it!

Yeah, I saw this piece of news yesterday morning I believe.

I seriously couldn't stop laughing for some reason

What is sega's role in this? Are they operating the brick and mortar building/zoo service? Or are they just supplying some multimedia devices/making the software for the zoo which is run by a different company?

Who knows perhaps it's just a guise.. perhaps when you walk inside you appear in red jacket and blue pants and hear..

"Wecome to the fantasy Zone... Get ready!"

Oh shit! Sega makes Zoo, that nice.
I Hate PS2 that screw everything.

Its a partnership between bbc and sega. As the website states: sega will provide their technological expertise, while bbc will provide their extensive nature content.
