Patent for the Love Tester exhibit in Nintendo Museum is out. The co-op arcade uses a camera (#5 in image 1 below) and two electrodes (31L & 31R) to detect handholding and score “intimacy level”.

Love Tester exhibit’s design registration was published earlier this year (image 1 below); you can see the camera above the screen, and a replica of the original 1969 Love Tester right below. The cabinet also resembles the old Love Tester (image 2).

Action shot for those who hadn’t seen the Love Tester SP:
