Automaton AU/VST Plugin

If you’re familiar with the Game of Life then Automaton will seem familiar to you.

Their parents can subscribe to the Anshin-Navi service which automatically detects the phone’s location by GPS, and check it on their phones or PCs. What’s more is that even when the kid’s phone is off, the GPS tracing is still on, and the real-time location... Continue reading
