Trade Show Description

A visit to AI Expo Japan, which was held in Japan in April 2018 and included a designated space for VR/AR/MR applications and products, gave us a wide overview of the offering in Japan for B2B and B2C by more than 300 exhibitors.

Most of the fair was devoted to IA. Nevertheless, other related fields were also present, such as contents, creators and distributors, graphic design, advanced digital technologies, and marketing.

Some of the new products presented were VR software, VR components, VR app development services, 360 audio devices, capturing technology for VR avatars, motion capture for 3D Avatars, services for AR content, mixed reality hardware and software application to control them.

Review

There were many companies displaying their products and some well-known companies as Yamaha. Lots of companies actively released their VR partnership, like VIVE, Oculus, etc. It’s an interesting fair for VR and AR. We discovered 3 companies with propietary VR hardware; however, there were no disruptive technologies.

It seems that VR is getting a better experience by the user at the expense of a high or significant hardware and software investment. More and more products are being developed to reduce costs for hardware and performance improvements, like EMT by Premo or more efficient chips and algorithms to simplify the development of VR/AR/MR applications and products.

This fair focused also on content improvement since there are many application and programs like racing simulators, rollercoasters, zombie games, etc. Smaller companies focused on current technologies and components to optimize or reduce costs. Most of the products were fully developed for the consumer market and were ready to be purchased by developers or studios.
