TechBiz Creation & Matchmaking

Information about Exhibition of Adopted Technologies and Call for Potential Partners

--------------------------------------------------------------------

We implement "TechBiz Creation & Matchmaking" where we showcase the six content- related cutting-edge technologies chosen for this "TechBiz" event and introduce the six companies which developed the technologies to their potential partners at Digital Content Expo (DCEXPO) 2019, the 12th round of the exhibition and conference on digital content and its technology, held at Makuhari Messe from November 13 to 15, 2019.

"TechBiz Creation & Matchmaking" is a B2B matchmaking project aiming at providing those companies which have developed the cutting-edge technologies with opportunities to have their technologies marketed internationally as part of METI's "Project for Development of Environments for Creating New Content (Content-related Business Matching Project)."

If you are interested in commercializing those technologies domestically or internationally, or talking to the companies which developed those technologies anyway, please fill out the following form and sign up for meetings:

We also conduct "TechBiz Creation & Matchmaking, Pitch and Workshop" on November 14 from 12:50 to 13:45 on DCEXPO Stage, where those companies give presentations on their technologies and some of them would also create business plans for the technologies on the stage.

The audience will be able to see technology developers helped by Japanese leading experts in the field of content technology and helping startups and also overseas investors and guests, with advice and comments as to creating overseas expansion plans.

TechBiz Creation & Matchmaking List of Technologies to be exhibited

【1】CENOTE Inc.

　　Adopted technology：VAIR Field

　　https://vimeo.com/303660231

While applying the latest xR technology without using HMD, we are advocating physical eSports in which many people can play freely with their physical abilities. Based on this concept, we have developed the "VAIR Field", which can be used for multiplayer shooting using a device that reproduces not only the shape of a gun or bow but also the operation method and feeling. By reflecting the information of obstacles such as walls and floors in a 10 meter square area and detecting obstacles in real time, you can play in the space where the physical world and the digital world overlap. Without HMD, you can see real world information and experience it safely and easily from children to the elderly. We are a fabless company that focuses on research and development, and we do not have mass production capacity or facility operation capacity. For this reason, I would like to match with companies that can operate theme parks, shopping malls, and art museums overseas, and companies that can operate facilities and produce equipment.

【2】Miecle Inc.

　　Adopted technology：Rouba no jyumen

　　https://twitter.com/Shochiku_Obake/status/1164806426016935936?s=20

This exhibition is Japanese haunted house attraction using virtual reality, multiple head mounted display control mechanism, and actuators such as speakers and fans. The VR attraction was operated at Tokyo Tower for a month in summer of 2019. Miecle is a joint venture of Shochiuku, Kadinche, and Samurai. The content of this attraction is mainly produced by Shochiku and the system is developed by Kadinche.

We are searching for partners who can import our VR contents and operate in their own country. You may have the income from VR attraction tickets or the VR attraction will have the ability to pull in more customers to your shopping malls or events.

【3】DoGA Corporation

　　Adopted technology：3D animation software for children

　　https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHIsXq3U00A

This is a 3D and CGI educational software developed by DoGA.　We are looking for potential partner companies which sell this software in your country.

【4】Hashilus Co, Ltd.

　　Adopted technology：Kickway

　　https://youtu.be/1F9K45MF_Z0

"KICKWAY" is a motion simulator that focuses on a sense of acceleration in order to achieve a high level of immersion at a low cost and a limited amount of space while preventing motion sickness. Two kinds of acceleration - back and forth, and right-left turning - enhances the sense of riding on real personal mobility.

Additionally, the vibration unit on the floor creates a sense of riding on different kinds of surface, even in the air. Users may feel the difference between riding on the paved street and rough ground.
Unlike the typical sitting style motion rides, the structure of the device allows easier access to it, and the players can hop on to it with their VR headsets on.

Operators who will adopt KICKWAY
- Themeparks and arcades
- Museums
- Public facilities
- Other operators who wish to renovate facilities with state-of-the-art technologies

Distributors who will support our overseas expansion.

VCs and CVCs who will consider the investment in our business.

【5】MESON, inc.

　　Adopted technology：PORTAL BY JOSEPH

　　https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFvA8EYtES4

PORTAL is an AR runway that enables people to preview fashion items just by pointing a store-provided iPad at an AR marker attached to the wall. Fashion models, who are rendered in 3D from 153 images taken simultaneously from different angles, appear wearing 15 types of ensembles selected from fashion brand JOSEPH's 2019 a/w collection.
Customers can add their favourite items to a "SAVED" list and bring the list home by scanning a given QR code. Items that appear in the show are available at the stores.
After contemplating the future of in-store customer experiences, MESON has concluded three terms that represent our future experience: Inspire, Learn, and Interact. The AR fashion runway has been developed to offer a rich in-store experience combining these three ideas. AR technology, which creates immersive experiences, enables customization of the in-store.

MESON inc. is a tech company that develops a wide range of AR products and services. We prefer to work with B-to-C companies either who plan to use AR in business or who do a research on the use of AR in business.

【6】Pioneer Corporation　

　　Adopted technology：Sound of Things

　　(website is currently under construction)

Pioneer's Sound of Things brings life to everything with sound.
By adding "sounds" to all things and collecting "sounds", people's lives can be updated while effectively using existing facilities.
Core technologies are technology that can record voice even in the presence of noise, and vibration actuators that can change various things to speakers, and technology that can make sounds that are easy to hear anytime and anywhere.

We are looking for potential partners such as retailer, transportation infrastructurer, local government, and tourist industry.
