【1】Aromajoin Corporation 「Digital scent device “Aroma Shooter®” & scented video sharing platform “AromaPlayer®”」
The Aroma Shooter is an innovative scent device that introduces scents to the digital world and can provide a more realistic immersion experience for video contents by controlling and reproducing clean and precise scent information. In each Aroma Shooter, there is several scent cartridges that abandons liquid and gaseous media (oils, mist, steam, vapor, etc.). This new “dry and solid-state scent” material allows for blazingly fast switching(0.1 sec) of discrete scents without any smell leaking.
In addition to making a hardware device, we are also developing a video sharing system that will allow the users to directly watch and enjoy a lot of scented video content, without any programming skill needed. All technologies used are registered patents and trademarks in multiple countries including Japan and the US.
Our product is an extension (plug-in) that can be used by creators who edit video and audio in the editing software they are accustomed to using. We provide plug-ins for creators to easily use AI, which has developed remarkably in recent years, to automate tasks that could not be automated in the past. The product we have developed is highly accurate and fast, and speeds up simple tasks by, say, 20 times in the case of trimming, thereby increasing the time spent on tasks that should be spent by humans.

【7】TRIBAWL Co. Ltd. 「Avatar golf lesson system」
This is a technology that allows you to easily create avatar videos by adding realistic choreography and audio to 3D models using a smartphone. The motion and voice of the model are captured at the same time, and the motion and voice, including mouth movements, are synchronized to create a highly realistic avatar video. Using this avatar video, we will develop services in various fields such as sports, entertainment and customer service.
For example, the avatar golf lesson system uses skeletal recognition technology (markerless motion capture) to digitize swings, visualize swing data in graphs and tables, and avatars give advice based on the data. This allows us to provide lessons based on recommended data rather than the instructor’s experience and sense values.
In the future, we plan to develop services using avatar videos, markerless motion capture technology, range sensors, etc. in fields such as sports, education, and entertainment.
