In order to show how its innovative technology can be used to enhance entertainment, Epson created a smart stadium screen in Japan.
In recent years, the number of Chinese-speaking tourists visiting Japan have increased exponentially. As such, there have been many tourists who don't speak the language watching the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters pro baseball team without fully understanding all of the happenings of the game.
Epson created the Glass Sheet and equipped tourists with its Moverio BT-200 Smart Glasses so that information could be broadcast on the screen and translated in real-time in order to give accurate and informative highlights. As well as impacting the way this group of tourists sees a game, this high-tech experience is being called "baseball of the future."
