At CES, the world's largest technology trade fair held in the United States, more than 50 Japanese start-up companies are aiming to expand their business opportunities by showing off the latest technology.
At CES, which opened on the 5th in Las Vegas, USA, not only major IT companies but also start-up companies from all over the world are exhibiting, and 52 companies from Japan are participating.
Of these, the wearable terminal used around the neck, which is exhibited by a company in Tokyo, has a built-in microphone and speaker, and a camera that can shoot 4K video is attached to the tip.
Since it is possible to shoot the tip of the line of sight with both hands free, it can be used for live distribution from tourist spots and for work in factories while receiving instructions from people in remote locations.
In addition, a company launched by a former employee of an automobile manufacturer aims to develop, just write "flying car" or "sleep" that can be moved door to door like a car on a wooden board. Attention has been focused on products that are recognized by AI = artificial intelligence and can turn off lights in rooms through the Internet.
Kenji Yoshida, Deputy Director of JETRO = Japan External Trade Organization San Francisco Office, who supports the exhibition, said, "I think CES is the best place to promote new products. Even if it is a startup, it is necessary for each company. Since the support is different, I would like to try to respond according to each company. "
