The National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan), located in Odaiba, Koto Ward, Tokyo, was established as a hub to deepen public understanding of science and technology. Operated by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), this national science museum offers interactive experiences with Japan’s cutting-edge scientific advancements. On Wednesday, April 23, 2025, Miraikan will open to the public a new immersive exhibition titled "Unread Universe", which allows visitors to experience the forefront of space research. The sound and visual production for "Unread Universe" involved Furutachi from Immersive Inc. "Unread Universe" showcases four major areas of space exploration: neutrino observation, gravitational wave detection, astronomical observation through invisible wavelengths of light, and particle accelerator experiments. The exhibition space is fully immersive, surrounding visitors with powerful visuals created from actual observation and experimental data.
・Client Introduction "FinGATE CLUB," operated by HEIWA REAL ESTATE CO., LTD. (Head Office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Kiyoyuki Tsuchimoto), is a membership-based community lounge located in the Nihonbashi Kabutocho and Kayabacho area. It aims to accelerate the development of a startup ecosystem, focusing primarily on emerging asset management firms, fintech companies, and other financial startups. Targeting registered entrepreneurs, investors, and other key players, the lounge strives to create a "community where people gather, and investment and growth are born." ・Challenges Before Implementation "FinGATE CLUB" has a meeting space equipped with a projector in one corner of the facility. Until now, the projector was used in a conventional manner, projecting images onto a white wall. However, ensuring high visibility of visuals and materials required dimming the room’s lighting, which made it difficult for participants to see documents in front of them and observe each other's facial expressions. As a result, presentations tended to become one-way and less interactive, posing a challenge for effective communication.
■ Introduction of the Client NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE EAST CORPORATION (Headquarters: Shinjuku, Tokyo, President: Naoki Shibuya, hereafter referred to as NTT East),examples of implementing solutions to various social issues—spanning primary industries, manufacturing, logistics, retail, culture, arts, sports, disaster prevention, and more—are being showcased at the NTT e-City Labo, a field dedicated to demonstrating and experiencing the realization of a regional circular society. This time, we have introduced the Immersive Engine and Immersive Magic Wall to NTT e-City Labo. ■ Challenges Before Implementation At NTT e-City Labo, visitors are introduced to real, operational examples on-site of solutions addressing regional social issues, such as smart agriculture greenhouses. This has enabled visitors to resonate strongly with these initiatives and has created opportunities to develop new regional solutions in collaboration with the local community. However, conveying the real experience of remote locations, like smart agriculture greenhouses or regional events aimed at boosting community activity, has posed a challenge in visitor engagement.
As a measure against fraud involving cash machines (ATMs), we are conducting a demonstration experiment that utilizes AI (Artificial Intelligence) image analysis to encourage practices such as "Do not make or allow phone calls in front of ATMs" aimed at preventing victims of fraud. Starting from 2024, there are plans to expand the AI system to digital signage above ATMs nationwide. Our company has system-integrated the AI (Artificial Intelligence) image analysis solution with SocioFuture Corporation and Japan ATM Business Service Corporation. We will continue to challenge various initiatives for the financial industry by utilizing new AI technologies and cutting-edge technologies. ・AI image analysis of ATM users By analyzing images from security cameras installed in ATM areas with AI, it has become possible to detect with high accuracy the action of making phone calls in front of ATMs. Source: https://www.scft.co.jp/news/unhfxh7ol
