Tokyo Metropolitan Government “New Lifestyle: ‘Ah, I See!’ Expo”

Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s “New Lifestyle: Ah, I See! Expo.”

I helped out a little bit, so I went. That said, all I did was introduce the exhibiting companies… Thank you to everyone who agreed to exhibit after I reached out to you (*^^*)

I wholeheartedly support Vice Governor Miyasaka’s Tokyo reform efforts, so I’d like to do whatever I can—even if it’s just a small contribution—to help with any requests he might have (*^^*)

It is organized into four themes—“The Future of Play,” “The Future of Health Management,” “The Future of Work and Learning,” and “The Future of Transportation and Shopping”—and illustrates the new lifestyles brought about by technology.

I had planned to just stop by briefly, but I ended up thoroughly enjoying every single booth—from Tetris where you use your whole body to play, to a shooting attraction where you defeat dinosaurs using AR, an online medical consultation experience, VR golf training, an AI teacher, an introduction to IoT, a remote travel experience using avatarin, and VR-based remote nature experiences, among many others. It was all incredibly fun.

It’s also a great idea to focus on “people” and organize the exhibition around themes such as “new families,” “new students,” “new workers,” and “new seniors.”

I’d love to work with you on the event “A Fun Future Just Around the Corner,” which is scheduled to take place in Takeshiba next July.
