In case you don't know, Hanako is the Japanese dental patient simulator that has been shown last year, and recently, Hanako got upgraded to version two. Hanako 2 is more realistic and it mimics the behavior of human patients even better than its predecessor does.
Hanako 2 can sneeze, roll its eyes and blink, open and close its mouth, cough, move its tongue and a lot more. In fact, Hanako 2 comes with improved speech recognition, so it can discuss its condition with the dentist. Other improvements include changed skin from PVC to silicone, more natural head movement, as well as tongue and cheek linings that come in one piece.

Hanako 2 is great for all future dentists, but so far, we don't have any information about pricing.
