Shibuya is a gathering place for diverse people, cultures and things. What are the new “souvenirs” suitable for this city? ??
In collaboration with Future Design Shibuya and eiicon, ideas for new souvenirs from Shibuya will be solicited, and an idea pitch will be held in May. After the feedback of the final examination, two project ideas were tested and developed as a social experiment on the stage of "WORK PARK PACK" on Shibuya River Street.
Shibuya vegetables that can be grown and eaten in the city
[Date and time] June 24th (Monday) -28th (Sunday)
In this project by Plantio, Inc., as an example of developing the experience of growing and eating vegetables in Shibuya as a "souvenir", a plan to make "Made in Shibuya" craft beer using hops grown in Shibuya is planned. It was exhibited.
This project aims to create a new souvenir experience in Shibuya by developing urban farming (urban farming) that uses special planters that utilize AI and IoT. At the container of "WORK PARK PACK" on Shibuya River Street, which was the venue, the next-generation planters and the hops planted there were exhibited, and many people were drawn to the word "beer" in the hot and humid June of Shibuya. It made people's eyes shine.
I hope that one day, I will be loved as a souvenir that can play such a role as drinking beer grown in Shibuya and becoming fond of Shibuya.
At the booth, there is also a "Share Seed" corner where you can share the seeds of vegetables that you cannot sow individually.
Making Shibuya an ecosystem for creating visual expansion experiences with wearables
[Date and time] June 28 (Sun) 11: 00-17: 00
On the last day of the session, another project will hold a hands-on exhibition.
This is a "new souvenir" proposed by Enhanlabo Co., Ltd., which develops a new wearable device "bg" that replaces smart glasses and head-mounted displays. The idea is to bring back a fresh "experience" using next-generation wearable devices as a souvenir from the city of Shibuya, where various cultures are rooted.
At the venue this time, an experience of folding origami, which is difficult, was prepared.
By working while watching the procedure video through the device, the experienced person can fold even difficult origami just by imitating the procedure of the advanced person who spreads the field of view at hand.
(This time, I had you fold "Hachiko" after Shibuya)
This experience booth was impressive to see how fun it was to work, regardless of age or gender.
Origami is up to that point, but everyone naturally smiles at the mysterious experience of being able to demonstrate their abilities beyond what I expected, and this also visits Shibuya as a new souvenir. It made me feel the possibility of making everyone happy.
