The largest trade fair in Japan, which introduces cutting-edge digital technologies such as VR = virtual reality and AR = augmented reality, started in Tokyo on the 29th.
Technologies that utilize the virtual world by making full use of images, such as VR and AR, are called "XR" = cross reality, and are expected to be applied to various fields.
This trade fair, which started in Koto-ku, Tokyo, is open to those in charge of companies, and about 100 companies and organizations, which are the largest in Japan in terms of "XR", will exhibit.
Of these, the system that allows you to receive construction safety training in VR allows you to experience images as if you were at the construction site by wearing goggles, and you can also experience a simulated accident such as a crash from a ladder. ..
In addition, the fitness bike with VR images projected around it allows you to feel as if you are cycling outdoors without wearing goggles.
In addition, the latest technologies such as a system that sounds a chime when you press the image of a button that can be seen floating in the air are gathered, and the visitors listened to the explanation enthusiastically at each booth.
Atom Shimoda, the secretary general of the trade fair, said, "I feel that XR technology is now being implemented in society in all fields. Exhibitors who want to change the world and support operational efficiency have gathered." I was talking.
This trade fair is open until July 1st at Tokyo Big Sight.
