Four Experience Zones
1. AIoT Products Experience Zone
- Smart Home Products
Sharp present examples of collaborations of AIoT-related products
and various COCORO+ services that Sharp takes pride in, while also
giving demonstrations related to further expansion in the future.
To support busy working housewives while enhancing the dinner
table, Sharp's smart kitchen provides a Meal Kit Delivery Service
that makes full use of AIoT through tie-ups with food processing
companies. Attendees will also experience the evolution of AQUOS:
from an appliance that merely relays television broadcasts to an
AIoT TV that is an integral part of users' daily lives.
- AIoT Solutions
In addition to presenting solutions based on AIoT products such as
Home Assistant and RoBoHoN, Sharp will also introduce the AIoT
Platform and industry-specific solutions, as well as solutions
through alliances with other companies.
- Smart Office
Sharp will show new work solutions ideal for smart offices made
possible by linking smart-connected collaboration spaces, table
displays, and Sharp's high-resolution BIG PAD interactive LCD
monitors. Visitors can experience the BIG PAD by trying out its
intuitive touch-operation and by seeing firsthand the convenience
of conference support functions based on practical applications of
AI.
In addition, Sharp will introduce the concept of convenient
"huddle" meetings free of location constraints, made possible by
combining a 40-inch BIG PAD and batteries.
- Smart ECO
Sunlight falling on the roof is converted to electricity, and
sunlight shining into windows is used to light the room. Home
Assistant delivers a smart and ecological lifestyle that maximizes
natural energy so residents can minimize their electricity bills.
Its cloud-based HEMS (Home Energy Management System) works together
with storage batteries to optimally manage the electricity
generated.
2. 8K Product Experience Zone
By watching an 8K-compatible TV aimed at general consumers that
will be released this December, visitors to this zone can feel the
realistic sense of presence and immersion that is only possible
with the super-high-definition images of 8K.
3. Display Gallery
Visitors can get a firsthand look at products and applications
based on display technologies that Sharp is proud to have
developed. The world's highest resolution HMD/IGZO technologies
make potential new products possible, including Super Wide Displays
that render highly realistic images and large amounts of
information based on an ultra-high-definition display (1008 ppi),
as well as integrated instrument panel solutions for the age of the
connected car, such as a Driving Assistant, which is built around a
circular display. We will also introduce an 8K-compatible 27-inch
HDR monitor for use as a broadcast master monitor or for medical
and security applications. Also exhibited will be a transparent
signage projector capable of projecting images onto plate-glass
show windows and other glass surfaces. We invite attendees to come
and view space-saving installations and rear (transmissive)
projection scenarios.
4. New Initiatives Experience Zone
- bitescan is a new health care tool that promotes health by
helping people chew their food better
Attendees can experience how bitescan promotes good health: simply
fit it over your ears to measure the number and speed of chewing
strokes while you are eating, then link with the cloud and AI
technologies for suggestions on improving your chewing.
- AGEs Sensor simply and easily measures the level of accumulated
AGEs (advanced glycation end-products)
AGEs (advanced glycation end-products) have been attracting
attention in recent years due to their connection to the human
aging process. By measuring the actual level of AGEs accumulated in
the body, visitors can check where they rank by comparing
accumulation levels with other individuals of the same age.
- funband targets professional baseball fans and is being developed
in collaboration with three Japanese professional baseball
teams
Sharp will give attendees a firsthand look at funband, a new
initiative that utilizes the AIoT platform being deployed together
with the three teams (Hiroshima Toyo Carp, Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks,
and Yokohama DeNA Bay Stars).
- Outdoor Autonomous Mobile Monitoring Robot--commercial remote
monitoring system
Sharp will be exhibiting a robotic unit, already on the market in
the United States, that is used for remote monitoring of large
factories and warehouses. Visitors will see the system in action as
it uses its operating software and camera-guided monitoring
functions.
- TEKION LAB--an internal corporate venture from Sharp's R & D
Business Group
TEKION LAB, an internal corporate venture, was launched in March of
this year. Its focus is the application of cold storage
materials--developed using Sharp's proprietary thermal energy
storage technologies--to the field of gourmet food. We present a
look at the future of food, including an insulated bag that enables
users to enjoy alcohol stored at subzero temperatures and a special
cold tray for chocolates.
- Sharp Open Incubation "SHARP IoT.make Bootcamp"
This program was launched in October of last year to support
start-up companies that utilize manufacturing technologies and
know-how that Sharp has nurtured over the course of many years. We
present videos focusing on interviews with administrators and
participants who have brought the energy and enthusiasm of new
business ideas to Sharp and have been an integral part of creating
new ecosystems with these business ventures.
