The opening of the news "docomo Open House'22", the latest docomo such as 3D avatars from the local area

State of a real venue (Tokyo International Exhibition Center)

NTT DOCOMO is holding a docomo Open House'22 event from January 17 to 19, which exhibits the company's research and development examples and solutions that utilize the latest technology. Continuing from last year, this year will be held online. [Photo] 6G (6th generation mobile communication system), where the development is awaited as a 3D avatar network that reflects the movement of the actor in real time in the "Real Time Motion Cap Capriculab", and the future communication base aimed at by the NTT Group. A booth is exhibited from a wide range of fields of entertainment, medical, education, tourism, advertising and marketing, including research and development to realize the "Innovative Optical and Wireless Network) concept". 233 booths will be exhibited at the online venue. About 100 of them are also on display at the real venue, and the media has been given the opportunity to visit locally and participated, so I hope you can feel the atmosphere of the venue. One of the unique exhibits is the technology that reflects the operation data obtained in motion capture as a 3D model in real time on the VR (virtual reality) space. Simultaneous art allows you to view live distribution using motion capture from a free perspective. Since only the operation data is communicated, it can be delivered live with less data, and up to four people can shoot at the same time in the same space. In this event, "Virtual Tokyo" will be exhibited as "Real -Time Motion Capcha Lab", which combines the technologies of live distribution of operation data acquired in motion capture on a large scale. The actor in docomo XR Studio (Minato -ku, Tokyo) turns into a virtual hero and demonstrates a live demonstration. The demonstration can be viewed from the head -mounted display corresponding to VR. Next is the security robot "COCOBO" jointly developed by SECOM and NTT DOCOMO. Kota Nezu (Znug Design), who designed "Lovot", is in charge of the design of the aircraft. It is a cute appearance that is based on a joint life with people. The patrol route is automatically driven and the camera video is defined by AI analysis in real time. In addition to detecting residents and fallen people, it has a heat source sensor and detects cigarettes discarded in the trash can. When the heat source is detected, it is a mechanism to receive a report to the security room. The maximum speed is about 6 km / h, and can be driven up to a step of about 5 cm. It also supports sloping and unevenness, and also performs outdoor patrol security. It can run for about 3 hours by charging for 3 hours, and automatically returns to the charging stand according to the remaining battery level. It can be automatic in a manned environment, and it is said that four units have already been introduced at Narita Airport. Similarly, the "AI -equipped virtual security guard" developed by the two companies is also on display. The virtual character performs warning and reception work, and the character responds by talking. Inside it is equipped with a camera and motion sensor, which shows a movement that can be followed by eyes when people walk near the housing. By combining with a thermal camera, the reception work and the temperature measurement can be handled simultaneously. In response to questions from the visitors, they called their in -house representatives and showed a map of the neighborhood. The "DOCOMO Construction site IoT Solution" is displayed as a solution for construction sites. Morning Assist is compatible with smartphones, PCs and tablets, and realizes morning assembly in place and time. You can view the schedule and drawings shared in the morning assembly from the device at hand. It has a "confirmed" button, so it can prevent leakage and omission of information sharing. A "bladed drone" is flying at the entertainment booth. It is a balloon -like aircraft that flies without a propeller or flapping wings, and is filled with helium gas inside. It is said that a microplore, which excites the air due to ultrasonic vibration by a piezoelectric element, has gained propulsion. The pilotelectric element driving frequency is 26 kilometers, and the sound of the operation is very quiet and the sound is very quiet. In addition, it is a very small and very lightweight, and there is no need to worry about human fingers and hair. In addition to flashing with a full -color LED (Light Emitting Diode), you can shoot with an action camera. It also supports controls such as automatic flight via network. It seems that it can be expected to be used in situations such as artists' live and spatial production in drone shows. At the video distribution booth, a 5G service of the standalone method is exhibited. It is said that low -delay service slices are built by placing a small UPF (User Plane Function) that can be carried around in the exhibition hall. The resource for each slice is divided, and a stable communication is realized even when other slices are crowded. You can experience low delay communication using VR content. If high real -time processing, such as the broadcasting industry, is required, stable communication will be provided by placing a small UPF that implemented user applications near the user. Docomo Open House'22, which allows you to experience various new technologies, can participate online until the 19th.
