F07 「Another Track(TM)」 Device Control Solution Applying Acoustic Communication

Evixar Inc.

　Technical details

Another Track(TM) is acoustic communication technology making use of “watermark” audio signals in a frequency range inaudible to the human ear. Emanating from speakers in stadiums, theaters and other such venues, these signals are recognized by smart devices, such as smartphones or wearables. They control the output of the multi-language text or AR display on the devices, timed to the progress of the play or other event taking place in the venue.
The text or AR display occurs within 0.1 seconds, enabling real-time distribution in theaters or other live venues. Since data can be delivered even in an environment lacking electric waves, or to devices in airplane mode, and without the need for special audio equipment, the technology is readily implemented in theaters.

Theater-goers who install the SAKURA - JAPAN IN THE BOX application on their smartphones are able to view multi-lingual explanations to help them appreciate unfamiliar Japanese culture. They can also obtain visual and other aids timed to the progress of a play, boosting their enjoyment of the actual performance.
