- MEGA MIND
The highlight of this visit is the special exhibition “MEGA MIND”!
MegaMind is an exhibition designed to spark children’s curiosity and provide them with an experience that sparks creative inspiration.
Every invention on display was born from someone who brought their original ideas to life.
Ideas are the answer to every question and the solution to every problem.
But how do good ideas come about?
How can we become more creative?
That’s exactly what this exhibition sets out to explore.


There are nerve cells on the floor at the entrance.
When a person steps on them, synapses are formed. It seems to be a way of expressing how
interaction creates synapses.
Sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. Plus proprioception and the sense of balance. The brain gathers information from
these senses, and that’s where ideas begin.
This section is all about getting to know your own senses.


This is a section where you can see the world through the eyes of other creatures.
Choose one of the holes and crawl inside. On the display inside, select which animal’s eyes you’d like to see through.
Inspired by the eyes of animals and insects, new technologies—such as goggles that allow you to see in the dark—are being developed.
This section is designed to help you learn about these innovations.


The "Let's Feel It" Corner.
They say that haptic feedback—such as a cell phone vibrating to notify you of an incoming call—is becoming more common.
What would happen if a game controller or a 4D movie theater seat started shaking?
This tactile experience zone invites you to imagine just that.


The Smell Corner.
Look, smell, and try to guess. Apparently,
humans can distinguish between 10,000 different smells.
The segment featured the “wasabi alarm device” for the hearing-impaired, which won the Ig Nobel Prize in 2011.

This is the auditory corner—the "
Scream Room." Here, you can measure how loud
your voice is.

Moving through the darkness, relying only on hearing and touch. The discussion will touch on how
such experiences led to the development of sonar and radar.

Concentration trains your brain!
Move the ring without letting it touch the surrounding wires. Taking on
new and challenging tasks trains your brain, helping you stay smart and creative.

Their voices change!
Dad’s voice might sound like Mom’s, or like Donald Duck’s.
When the combination of face and voice differs from what they’ve come to expect, it confuses their brains.

There are also optical illusions that visually confuse the brain.

Creation Area.
You can draw by moving your eyes.
You can change the color by looking at the circle in the lower-left corner.
The drawings created with your eyes will be displayed on a large screen. Drawings created by other people with their eyes will also be displayed
at the same time, and you’ll work together to complete the drawing.



Create music using your whole body.
You can create music that you can hear, feel, and see.
By forming one hand into this hand shape and linking hands with two or more people, you can create music. You don’t just listen to the
music—you can also experience it visually and tactilely through a light show and vibrations controlled by the music.


It was described as a high-tech version of playing with clay.
By moving your hands in front of the screen, you can carve away at the objects on the screen and reshape them however you like.
It felt just like working on a potter’s wheel.


Under the theme of “Let’s Train Our Brains!”, there were various other games as well.
