"Kisekae" is a Japanese word +used in reference to changing clothes. "Kisekae ningyo" is the Japanese +term for what we call in America a "fashion doll" (such as Barbie). + +In 1991, a Japanese computer programmer known as MIO.H released a +viewing platform and related image archives, or "kisekae sets", +specifically designed to bring the "fashion doll" concept into the +digital world. The result is something of a cross between a paper doll +and a computer game. With the appropriate viewer for their operating +system, a computer user could download various doll "sets" and play with +them on their desktop. The Kisekae Set System, or KiSS, was originally +inspired by the dress-up games young girls play with fashion dolls. The +KiSS computer game found a much broader audience, and today there are +KiSS sets for every age, taste and orientation. Some KiSS sets weren't +even dolls--there were puzzles, board games, maps, even virtual models +like the Space Cruiser Yamato. These came to be called "Aberrant KiSS" +to distinguish them from the regular doll sets. |
