Japanese pro-baseball team treats Taiwanese tourists with smart glasses

Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters (北海道日本ハムファイターズ) are a Japanese professional baseball team based in Sapporo, Hokkaidō. They performed the trial of the new service using the smart glasses to Taiwanese tourists. Why Taiwanese? Because Hokkaido is the Japanese northernmost local government and a lot of snow, and Taiwanese player Ya'ng Da'i-Ka-ng(陽岱鋼) is registered at Nippon-Ham Fighters. Therefore many Taiwanese tourists always visit Hokkaido. However, foreign tourists are inconvenient because a baseball stadium announcement and player notation are only Japanese. Then, Nippon-Ham Fighters supported Taiwanese with smart glasses.

 Smart glass MOVERIO of Epson was used for this trial.

The main support technique is AR. The data, profiles of players and score were displayed by Taiwanese to a screen. Operators updated the score in real time.

In addition, the commentary was translated into Taiwanese by an interpreter operator, too.

Tourists seemed to enjoy it very well. An advantage of the smart glass is that the user's both hands become free. This is the important point in watching sports.
