Expand to 110 Locations in Tokyo: Installing Transparent Displays with Multi-Language Display Functions!

Utilizing State-of-the-Art Technology Capable of Realizing Smoother Communication with Anyone

 

 

Using the "World Athletics Championships Tokyo 25" and the "Tokyo 2025 Deaflympics" as opportunities, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government is utilizing digital technology to advance approaches to the realization of an inclusive Tokyo, where everyone can enjoy interactions "with anyone, anytime, and anywhere". 

We began installing transparent displays at Tokyo Metropolitan Government-owned facilities in June of last year, and many people are taking advantage of them. Aiming for the further spread of technology, we will expand the number of Tokyo Metropolitan Government-owned facilities where transparent displays will be installed to 110 this fiscal year, as detailed below. 

With this display, you can experience smooth communication regardless of whether you have impairments or not, and regardless of language barriers.
